Donte Stallworth Out on Bail After Manslaughter Charge - Video

NFL Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth was released on $200,000 bail today after surrendering in Miami-Dade circuit court subsequent to being charged with manslaughter drunken driving on Wednesday.

Stallworth struck and killed Mario Reyes, a pedestrian, on March 14 around 7:00 AM. while driving to the beach. According to the police Stallworth was alone at the wheel of his black 2005 Bentley GT when he struck Reyes, who was a 59-year-old construction crane operator on his way home from work.

Police also stated that Stallworth allegedly had been drinking at a Miami Beach nightclub prior to the early morning accident and provided police with a blood sample that later registered a blood alcohol level of .126, which is considerably above Florida's legal limit of 0.080.

The first video is an Associated Press report of Stallworth's surrender today:



Stallworth is not allowed to drive or drink alcohol while on bail and also must submit to random alcohol and drug tests conducted by the NFL substance abuse program.

He also needs to obtain permission for any travel that is not between Miami and Cleveland, plus he is subject to a curfew from midnight until 6:00 AM.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Dennis Murphy set an arraignment date of April 23 at which Stallworth is expected to enter a plea of not guilty.

The second video is a Miami Herald account from the accident scene on March 14th and shows Stallworth submitting to DUI testing and also shows paramedics working on Reyes after the accident. WARNING! Video is graphic.



Stallworth faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Christopher Lyons, Donte' Stallworth's attorney, said he would "vigorously" defend Stallworth against the charges. "We want to stress there are no winners here," said Lyons. "It was a tragic accident."

Warrant Issued for Lindsay Lohan's Arrest

Lindsay Lohan, the 22-year-old movie actor in films like Freaky Friday (2003) and Mean Girls (2004), had a warrant for her arrest issued on Friday.

Beverly Hills Police Department spokesman Lieutenant Mark Rosen said, "The $50,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court stems from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for DUI and hit-and-run. The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not readily available at this time. It is our hope that Miss Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter will be resolved in a timely manner."

Shawn Chapman Holley, Lindsay's attorney, said the warrant was a "misunderstanding."

"Since her case was resolved, Ms. Lohan has been in compliance with all the terms and conditions of her probation and all orders of the court. The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week," said Holley.

"I spoke to her attorney this morning. The attorney believes it was just a miscommunication with the court," said Lieutenant Rosen. "She hopes to resolve it in court this coming week. And I'm sure that if it's not resolved in court that we'll work out something with Ms. Lohan to voluntarily surrender."

In May of 2007 Lohan was arrested for driving under the influence after losing control of her vehicle, which ended up on the curb. Police discovered cocaine in her car and subsequent lab tests confirmed that cocaine was also in her system.

Lindsay spent some time in rehab after that, but was arrested again for drunk driving on July 24, 2007. She pled guilty in August 2007, and was sentenced to one day in jail and placed on probation for three years. The one day in jail made headlines at the time since the "one day" ended up to be a total of only 84 minutes in jail because she was released early due to jail overcrowding.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has a hearing scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Monday morning, March 16, 2009, at a Beverly Hills courthouse.

MADD Goes after Kiefer Sutherland

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is asking Ford Canada to fire Kiefer Sutherland as its celebrity spokesperson.

Sutherland is currently in jail serving a 48 day sentence after his third DUI conviction. Like so many other celebrities who have been living life on the edge, Sutherland has been working extra hard at playing life for all that it is worth.

So it is not surprising that MADD does not want Sutherland rewarded with a lucrative deal endorsing Ford vehicles to Canadians. MADD Canada president Margaret Miller has been urging Ford to chose a different celebrity to sell their vehicles.

MADD’s objections to Sutherland are, of course, his three DUIs and his infamous video from last Christmas where he attacked a Christmas tree in a hotel. He was reportedly a bit inebriated at the time of the tree attack according to media sources.

Sutherland was pulled over by police on September 25th after exiting a Hollywood party. At the time, he was on probation from a DUI in 2004. Plus, he was convicted of alcohol-related reckless driving back in 1993.

Andrew Murie, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada, said that "literally, there's (sic) thousands of people out there that meet the moral standards of our society today that would love to have that kind of endorsement contract and they should be honored for their ethical behavior."

The video showing the Canadian actor attacking the tree is below.



However, Ford Canada is having none of it. Ford Canada spokesperson Gina Gellert confirmed that Ford has no intention of removing Sutherland, although she admitted that Ford will continue to monitor Sutherland’s behavior.

As for Sutherland, he seems to have adjusted well to prison life and spent his first day in the slammer folding laundry. "He's not happy to be here, but you can tell from his demeanor that he's sorry and takes responsibility for what's he's done," said Glendale City Jail spokesman John Balian.

Sutherland also received 60 months probation as part of his sentence, must pay a $510 fine, complete an 18-month alcohol-education class and attend weekly alcohol-therapy sessions for a six month period.
