Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams was arrested on a charge of public intoxication early Saturday after police responded to an accident involving his car and found Williams riding an electric bicycle on a road near his home.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco said Williams’ Lamborghini left a roadway and struck a light pole near the team’s practice facility around 4:45 a.m. Saturday. Police say the driver had left the scene. Officers found Williams while investigating the crash.
Williams was released from jail on bond on the misdemeanor intoxication charge.
In a statement released by his attorney [url=http://www.losangelesdodgersteamshop.com/authentic-kirk-gibson-jersey]Kirk Gibson Jersey[/url] , Williams said an officer he had met previously arrested him without performing a sobriety test. Williams said he was returning to the scene on a scooter to meet a tow truck driver.
The attorney, Chip Lewis, disputed the police account of Williams’ vehicle hitting a light pole.
”Terrance did not hit a light pole and there was no light pole even near the vehicle [url=http://www.officialdevils.com/authentic-adidas-nico-hischier-jersey]Adidas Nico Hischier Jersey[/url] ,” Lewis said. ”Secondly, his arrest was wholly unrelated to the traffic accident.”
Williams said he veered into the center median to avoid a collision when a man driving a vehicle in front of him hit his brakes. The two exchanged insurance information and a neighbor drove Williams home, where the receiver said he called for a tow truck.
”I have always been an upstanding citizen and handled the situation the best way I know how [url=http://www.buccaneersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jordan-whitehead-jersey]http://www.buccaneersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jordan-whitehead-jersey[/url] ,” Williams said. ”I apologize if I should have handled it a little bit differently.”
The 28-year-old Williams was expected to miss all the offseason workouts after breaking his right foot in January and having surgery. The Cowboys released Dez Bryant in a cost-cutting move while signing two free agents and drafting two more receivers.
The Cowboys declined to comment.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard George Hill is still listed as questionable for Sunday night’s Game 4 against Indiana because of an injured back.
Hill aggravated the injury in Friday’s 92-90 loss. The three-time defending Eastern Conference champs trail the Pacers 2-1.
Coach Tyronn Lue says veteran Jose Calderon will start if Hill doesn’t.
Calderon scored five points in 13 minutes in the Cavs’ Game 2 victory but did not play in Game 3.
Tristan Thompson also is expected to see more playing time in Game 4 after playing a total of 1 minute, 59 seconds in the first three games – all in the Cavs’ 18-point Game 1 loss.
Thompson, Lue says [url=http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/dj-chark-jersey-cheap]DJ Chark Jaguars Jersey[/url] , will add toughness and rebounding to the lineup.
