Just a little more than a week after former Arkansas basketball player Ronnie Brewer entered a not guilty plea in Fayetteville for charges related to driving while intoxicated after a July arrest he finds himself in hotter water following another traffic stop in Fayetteville.
Brewer, who is free on a $1,055 bond pending a November 1 trial date, was arrested again on Wednesday … this time for driving on a suspended license.
Brewer, 32, who had been a prep standout at Fayetteville High School, played at Arkansas from 2003 to 2006 where he averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks. He also was 51–151 from three-point range and shot 75 percent from the free-throw line.
Selected with the 14th overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz, Brewer went on to play or Memphis, Chicago (twice), the New York Knicks, Oklahoma City, Houston and the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League.
This is not Brewer’s first brush with the law for driving under the influence.
Brewer entered a plea of no contest in August 2014 on a misdemeanor charge of drunk driving and a judge in Los Angeles Superior Court sentenced Brewer to three years probation, mandated he attend 10 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and ordered him to attend three months of alcohol abuse classes.
The charges stemmed from a drunk driving arrest in Beverly Hills, California, in February earlier that year.
