Former Michigan basketball player Jalen Rose arrested on suspicion of impaired driving
By AnnArbor.com Staff
Jalen Rose is back in the news, but it isn't for his controversial remarks in the "Fab Five" documentary he produced, which aired on ESPN earlier this month. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday night that Rose was arrested on around on March 11 after being accused of operating a vehicle while impaired in West Bloomfield Township.
Police said Rose's Cadillac Escalade slid off an icy road around 2 a.m. and a passer-by called police. Rose refused a Breathalyzer at the scene and was taken to the hospital for a blood-alcohol test. The results of the test have not been reported.

tater, if the tests were negative, he would not have been arrested. Probable cause question? He had an accident and he agreed to the PBT thinking he was okay to drive. The door is slammed shut and no lawyer is going to get it open a crack. He will plead to operating while impaired if he has no priors of DUI.

I am guessing this gets plead down to driving too fast for conditions or careless driving. Jalen can afford a lawyer and a jury trial with an aggressive defense questioning probable cause, and possibly racial profiling. I know we are all assuming the test will come out positive, but if the test comes up negative, Rose should sue for having his civil rights violated.
