Braylon Edwards, receiver for the New York Jets, has been arrested and charged with drunk driving.

The 27-year-old was pulled over on the West Side of Manhattan September 21 at 5:15 a.m. for having excessively tinted windows; Edwards was given a Breathalyzer test which measured his blood alcohol at 0.16, double New York's legal limit.

Jets' General Manager, Mike Tannenbaum, released a statement which was posted on the New York Jets' web site:


"We are very disappointed in Braylon’s actions this morning. The Player Protect program is in place for our organization to prevent this situation. Braylon is aware of this program and showed poor judgment. We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures."
