NFL Legend Bruce Smith Sacked for DUI

Posted May 15th 2009 6:10PM by TMZ Staff

Another Buffalo Bill in trouble with the law ... this time it's one of the greatest players of all time.

NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith was arrested on DUI charges in Virginia Beach this morning after cops say the former defensive superstar was speeding around 1:42 am.

According to celebrity gossip wire Associated Press, a police spokesman says Smith was also charged with refusing to take a breathalyzer test at the scene.

Smith-- football's all time leading sack leader -- was released a few hours later after posting bond.

Smith was arrested for DUI twice before -- but the case #1 was dismissed and in case #2, Bruce was acquitted.

16. 7,8 and 9 - In VA a DUI is guilty until proven innocent. The onus is on the defendent to prove innocence, a refusal counts as an automatic and mandatory guilty, plus one year license revocation, 60 days in jail (usually they suspend 55) and various driver ed, AA etc..that's a FIRST offence..

17. He hasn't gone out with couple of friends for dinner and did not have a glass or two of wine or maybe a beer? He is a very nice guy who has done tone of good for others. I truly don't believe he was drunk... remember dui doesn't mean drunk means just about any amount of alcohol! I'M NOT SAY DRINKING & DRIVING IS RIGHT, but give him a break... what if you had a glass of wine and got pulled over??
