As authorities in South Florida wait for the results of a blood draw performed on Browns receiver Donte’ Stallworth, a source with knowledge of the investigation tells us that prosecutors are preparing an indictment for DUI manslaughter, under the assumption that the results will show that Stallworth’s blood alcohol content exceeded the legal limit of 0.08 percent when he collided with a pedestrian, who later died.

Per the source, Stallworth admitted to drinking at least four Patrons and two Margaritas. A separate source called that information “basically right,” but added that Stallworth contends he had his last drink at midnight. The incident occurred after 7:00 a.m. local time.

We’re also told that Stallworth claimed in his statement to police that he saw the man crossing the street from a distance, and flashed the high beams and honked the horn of the Bentley he was driving. Apparently, there’s an issue as to whether Stallworth could have taken evasive action because of a barrier along the median.

We’re told that Stallworth is badly shaken by the news that the pedestrian had died.

And, frankly, he should be. Apart from the fact that he was involved in an accident that claimed a man’s life, Stallworth could be facing serious criminal liability, if the pending test reveals an impermissibly high concentration of alcohol in his blood.

I bolded some important parts of the story...again...IF this is true.....
This one doesn't paint him to be a drunken bafoon, but puts some incriminating info out there for the readers to start gaining some opinions.

Personally, I've never heard much if anything negative about Donte in the media and the fact that he's been fully cooperating makes me feel better about this as opposed to him being a headcase jackass as others have been.

Based on the information provided, it sounds like Stallworth was more tired than drunk. His reactions could have been off due to a lack of sleep as opposed to having too much to drink as it looks like his consumption (if the figures provided were accurate) wasn't that much and should have been all but completely gone from his system at that point.
