Tank Johnson busted for DUI in Arizona

Gilbert, Ariz. -- Troubled Chicago Bears lineman Tank Johnson was picked up for suspected drunken driving Friday in Arizona.

Johnson was pulled over in Gilbert for speeding in the wee hours and booked after having his blood-alcohol level tested, the Chicago Sun Times reported Saturday.

Police in the Phoenix suburb did not reveal the results of the test; however they told the newspaper Johnson appeared impaired and was charged under a state "slightest degree" law allowing drivers to be arrested even if they don't exceed the state blood-alcohol level of .08 percent.

The bust is the latest brush with the law for Johnson, who has been suspended by the NFL for the first half of the 2007 season and spent 60 days in jail for a parole violation.

The Bears had no immediate comment on the matter.
