Bills rookie rusher Williams arrested for DWI

Running back Jonathan Williams, the fifth-round selection of the Buffalo Bills in this year's draft, was arrested early Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated and violation of implied consent.

According to the police report, the 22-year-old Williams was pulled over after he was seen weaving in Fayettteville, Arkansas. He was booked into the Washington County Detention Center at 3:20 a.m. and released around 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

Williams, who declined to give a breath sample on advice from his agent, told officers that he had one beer at 7 p.m. Wednesday night, but had watery eyes, slurred speech and had a "strong odor of intoxicants" and "swaying balance" during standard field sobriety tests, according to the police report.
