A former NFL star was four times over the drink driving limit when he was arrested, according to police.

On September 30, Eddie Lacy was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) after a woman called 911 to report an SUV driving in a way that she feared was “going to kill somebody”.

Lacy, 34, was best known for playing for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL, spending four seasons with the Wisconsin outfit before moving to the Seattle Seahawks for one season in 2017.

Now, after the police report was obtained by TMZ Sports, it has emerged that Lacy was four times over the legal limit for alcohol. He told officers at the scene he had drunk a “single shot” of tequila on his flight into Arizona.

Bodycam footage from his arrest shows Lacy struggling to form coherent sentences, with the police report adding that “Eddie's speech was slow - [he] slurred and mumbled as soon as I began talking to him.”

It wasn’t the first time that Lacy had been hit with a DUI either, having also been arrested in March 2022. His most recent arrest came just days after making an alumni appearance at Lambeau Field last month.

The former Packers star will appear before a judge next month.
