Titans’ McNair arrested for DUI

Tennessee QB also charged with illegal gun possession

? Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was arrested Thursday and charged with drunken driving and illegal possession of a handgun.

McNair was released on $3,000 bond after appearing at night court and is due back in court June 26. The DUI charge also will result in the NFL evaluating McNair for an aftercare program.

McNair was stopped just after midnight by a police officer who saw his sports utility vehicle weaving on a downtown street before pulling into a convenience store, the arrest report said. The quarterback’s eyes were bloodshot, his breath smelled of alcohol and he acknowledged drinking, police said.

He failed a field sobriety test and a blood-alcohol test produced a reading of 0.18 — well above Tennessee’s level of presumed intoxication of 0.10, the report said.

The weapon charge involves a 9 mm handgun found in the console between the front seats of his SUV.
