The 23-year-old Denver Nuggets forward was driving on Interstate 25 in Colorado at around 4:00 AM when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Anthony was driving a silver Mercedes and police say he was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim his lights.

Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, said, "He cooperated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks ... There was no accident and no one was hurt."

He is due back in court on May 14.

19. All this money...TAKE A TAXI HOME... even if you are in the boonies and it costs $1000.00 ... Call a Cab and go home that way if you have been drinking....Take another Taxi back the next day to pick up your Mercedes...Pay another $1000.00 ...Sheesh...All of the millions of dollars you say this guy has donated wont be worth anything if even 1 person dies because of his reckless drinking and driving....

25. Melo is a classless loser! Remember the fight and how he sucker punched the Knicks last season? Or how he gave Sasha Vujacic of the Lakers a throat punch this season, when the refs weren't looking? Or that DVD, where he was laughing with a rapper who was smoking marijuana talking about murdering people? And now this DUI. What a great representative of the Jordan brand, NBA, and Team USA.

If the Denver Nuggets had any class they would suspend him for at least the last game of the season. But they wont and the Warriors will still make the playoffs ! BTW I read on aol.com that Carmelo did NOT even go to jail!!!!!! That they just gave him a ticket!!!!!!!!

Carmelo CAN NOT be a Olympic athlete and a representative of America. He doesn't belong among the other fine athletes, such as Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Dwight Howard, etc. He belongs in jail!!

29. have you ever heard this guy talk to media or in public he can't even put a whole sentence together without licking his watermelon lips or studdering...

30. Hmm, judging from that photo, he acts like he's SO SPECIAL . Granted thats a bogus thing to pull him over for so it's more likely that he was driving an expensive car more than anything. And NO I don't watch basketball but I do know who he is
