Phoenix Suns player Dillon Brooks has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) following his arrest in March, according to online court records. The 30-year-old forward from Mississauga, Ontario, is set to appear in court on October 28 for the Class 1 misdemeanor charge. His attorney's statement indicated that this offense resulted from the incident that occurred last March.
The Arizona Suns' senior vice president of communications, Stacey Mitch, commented on the matter, stating that the team has addressed the situation with Brooks and has no further comment. Brooks was arrested during a traffic stop around 1 a.m. on March 6, following an investigation. After being booked, he was released around 3:30 a.m. Despite having a fractured left hand at the time, Brooks had previously averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game in the previous season.
In addition to the DUI charges, Brooks faces separate misdemeanour reckless driving and speeding charges related to an arrest in January, with a court date of November 9 for those cases. ESPN first reported these developments.
