June 16, 200620 yr CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Tampa Bay Devil Rays prospect B.J. Upton was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, media outlets in North Carolina reported Friday. Upton, 21, who is playing with the Triple-A Durham Bulls, was pulled over at about 3:30 a.m. According to a police report, Upton was stopped for driving 51 miles per hour on a 30 mph zone. He was given a Breathalyzer test and registered a 0.11 -- above the 0.08 limit at which a driver is presumed impaired under state law. Upton was released pending a promise to appear in court. Baseball America rated Upton as the second-ranked prospect in America in 2004. He was called up by the Devil Rays that season, batting .258 with four home runs in 159 plate appearances. He was Durham's player of the year in 2005. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2487380 This year alone Young throws a bat at an umpire, Dukes goes crazy on his coaches, and now Upton facing DUI charge.
June 17, 200620 yr lol...I was .02 over the limit, so he was actually higher than me. Speaking of that, I got my license back today.

June 17, 200620 yr Supposed to be 3 months. I sent my money in($250 reinstatement fee) and it took over a month for me to get it back. So I was without license from Feb 8th until June 16th, was supposed to get it back on May 8th.
