Former Detroit Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi's blood-alcohol content registered at .25, more than three times Michigan's legal limit, following his arrest for suspected driving under the influence in Auburn Hills last month.

Bertuzzi was arrested around midnight Feb. 26, near Joslyn and Brown roads, after police received a report of a 2020 black Lincoln Navigator swerving.

Police asked Bertuzzi to perform field-sobriety tests, and he failed them, Auburn Hills Police said Friday in a press release. He refused a breathalyzer test; police were granted a search warrant to take his blood.

Bertuzzi, 46, was held at the Oakland County Jail for 12 hours, and on Thursday, he was arraigned at 52nd District Court in Rochester.
