BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos director of player personnel Matt Russell is apologizing for his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
State troopers say Russell was arrested Saturday after rear-ending a Breckenridge police officer’s SUV that had stopped on the shoulder of Colorado 9 to pull over Russell, who was suspected of driving drunk. Russell and the officer were taken to hospitals and released.
Town spokeswoman Brodie Boilard says Russell had been in a minor accident earlier Saturday, and the other driver called police after suspecting Russell was intoxicated.
Russell was arrested on charges of DUI, no proof of insurance, careless driving causing injury, and having an open container. He was freed on bond Sunday.
Russell apologized in a statement released Monday by the Broncos, who said the organization is “extremely disappointed.”
