Police: Floyd's blood-alcohol level nearly 3x legal limit (The Associated Press)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- A police report released Wednesday says Patriots wide receiver Michael Floyd had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit when arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and other charges earlier this month in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Arizona's legal limit for alcohol is .08; Floyd's blood-alcohol level was measured at .217.

Floyd played for the Arizona Cardinals at the time, but the team released him two days after his arrest. New England then claimed him off waivers.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Floyd was taken into custody early the morning of Dec.
