Alabama State Troopers have issued a driving under the influence charge to Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley.

Fairley, a first round draft pick in 2011, was pulled over in Mobile after he was driving 100 miles per hour at 1 a.m. Sunday morning. He was charged with a DUI, open container violation, reckless endangerment, and not having vehicle insurance.

Fairley was processed, booked, and then released by 9 a.m. the same day of his DUI arrest. The NFL player is also facing other charges stemming from an April arrest. Those charges are in regards to drug possession.

Driving under the influence can carry serious consequences. If you are in need of representation, please contact the DUI defense lawyers of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, by calling 760-722-7646 today.
