Phoenix Suns player P.J. Tucker was arrested for "super extreme DUI" in May by Scottsdale police.

Tucker's blood alcohol content registered at .201 on a preliminary breath test in the field on May 10, according to Scottsdale police. A driver is considered legally drunk for a DUI charge in Arizona at .08 blood-alcohol content. A blood test administered after Tucker was taken to jail and later analyzed by Arizona DPS showed his blood alcohol-content to be .222, according to the police report. A super extreme DUI is .20 or more.

---

Tucker had "thick and slurred" speech and "watery and bloodshot" eyes, according to the report, and the officer detected a "powerful" alcohol odor as he interviewed Tucker. Tucker told the officer that he was coming from the W Scottsdale Hotel, where he had one beer. During a walk-and-turn test, Tucker stumbled to the side and caught himself on a construction fence, the report stated.

Tucker was cited for a stop sign violation and four counts for varying degrees of DUI charges, including a regular DUI (.08 blood alcohol content or greater) and an extreme DUI (.15 blood alcohol content or greater). The most severe of the counts was a super extreme DUI charge that carries a minimum 45-day sentence. If prosecuted for super extreme DUI, that would carry a minimum 45-day jail sentence, although it can be reduced significantly by installation of an ignition interlock device and home arrest.

Could they have thought of a better term than super extreme DUI? :lol

Are teenaged girls writing the laws in Arizona?

His attorney said he's pleading cray cray.

[benstanfield]

Jesus Christ a .222 for a huge dude like Tucker? Was he chugging grain alcohol as the cop approached the car?

[The_Coyote]

Wait, how was his prelim BAC lower than the BAC from the blood test? Did someone forget to calibrate the breathalyzer?

Also, I'm curious to know what they call driving at >0.3 in AZ.

[hater]

dumb fucking law. Aren't ppl less aware the higher the BAC???

are they really going to say, "h better stop now, don't wanna get a Super Extreme DUI" :lmao

[Robz4000]

Whoever came up with that DUI term should be lynched for the good of the human race imo

Arizona is just the western Florida imho (no offense to my friends DoK and Thread).

[anakha]

A legal term that sounds like a Mountain Dew flavor.

Only in Arizona.

The BAC in the preliminary field sobriety test (as they're called in California) is a measurement of strictly the fume of alcohol that has been absorbed into your lungs via the blood. The blood alcohol test--is a measurement of the alcohol (actual) content in your blood. The blood test is the supremely extremely more accurate test because it measure the particles of alcohol/blood content at the moment of withdrawal. Since the blood holds the alcohol longer in the system than the blood. Not sure if it is the same in Texas, but the Field Breathalyzer Test is usually only used to determine basic intoxication when pulled over. They have to administer the test within 12 minutes of the stop in order to make an arrest and that's when the test comes in. They will take the test that will hold most of the weight once you're at the station they'll take you to.

Don't worry Suns fans you have plenty more scrubs on the team to take his place

Not only did they re-sign him despite knowing about it, but they gave him $16.5 million! And don't forget, this is their highly touted "locker-room leader."

[JMarkJohns]

I hated the Tucker re-signing then as dead weight.

This just figures. Suns really need to stop overpaying for the feel-good underdog. Tucker is a solid rotation player, but he should not be a starter and is now getting starters money.

And now we know what he'll spend it on: booze and lawyers

[Xylus]

One night of drunken idiocy does not an alcoholic make.

I'm pretty shocked, though, that the Suns, knowing full well about this arrest, chose to pay Tucker over Frye.

[phoenix219]

Maybe thats part of why Frye was so offended and butthurt over having to go to Orlando for lots of money. :D

[JMarkJohns]

I didn't want to re-sign either Tucker or Frye. They've hit their ceiling. They are average at best, and limited in many areas. Suns need upside, not CAP held hostage by average.

Agree completely. I was glad Frye left. I can't believe they re-signed Tucker, especially to such a large contract, and knowing about his arrest.

[Mori Chu]

Is it confirmed that the Suns knew about this DUI when they re-signed Tucker?

[Jeremy]

Is it confirmed that the Suns knew about this DUI when they re-signed Tucker?

Yes, according to Paul Coro: "The Suns were aware of the charges before signing Tucker to his deal."

[Thread]

^ & of course Donough doesn't have to answer for this. Only for the "good things" he does is he on the line for.

They keep his name & this extreme DUI out of the story(s). It's poison and dangerous moving on. If they (local Media) links these two then it's a black mark on him and they don't want that a year in. He's the white in shining armor, fuckin' big eared faggot.

The argument is someone able to operate a car while blowing .20 has an alcohol tolerance built up from drinking (nothing wrong with that). Most of this board would be able to do the same so to me it's not a big deal. A girl, especially petite sized would have crashed the car

Each State is different but in California for your 1st DUI, the only thing blowing over .20 does is increase your fine totals, number of community service days and the length of your "Alcohol Program". For example 9 months instead of 3-6 months.

Even for a 2nd DUI, blowing over .20 would give you 4 days in jail which usually turns into 12 hours in captivity OR you can choose to pay for an ankle bracelet/house arrest for 2 weeks.
