Lawson finds legal trouble

Posted Jun 7, 2008

Ty Lawson was charged Friday with driving after consuming alcohol after an early-morning traffic stop. Lawson was stopped in downtown Chapel Hill because of the loud music coming from the car. The car smelled of alcohol and a field sobriety test led the officer to file charges. The arrest and incident reports did not disclose the Breathalyzer reading, but it must have been below .08 or Lawson also would have been charged with driving while impaired. (Charlotte Observer)
