It looks like Corey Dillion will need a skilled Los Angeles DUI defense lawyer to defend him of the DUI charges. As we reported in an earlier blog post, authorities with the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station said that the former NFL star admitted to drinking earlier in the evening when he was pulled over by law enforcers last April. Corey Dillon also reportedly showed signs of intoxication at the time he was pulled over. The football player was also arrested for an unrelated domestic violence charge in May, but prosecutors did not formally file charges due to insufficient evidence.
Corey Dillon is a well known figure among football fans, even since his retirement in 2007. He started playing as a running back for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1997. In 2004, he was traded to the New England Patriots and earned a Super Bowl title in his first season with the team. In 2004, he rushed a career high of 1,635 yards.
The former Bengal and Patriot is due back in the Malibu Courthouse on August 10 for his pretrial hearing.
