Williams not guilty on drunken driving

DUI DWI Laws

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Brian Williams has been found not guilty of drunk driving after a night of partying.

The athlete showed no reaction as the verdict was read Thursday. Had he been convicted, he faced up to a year in jail.

Officers say Williams swerved his Jaguar in front of a patrol car and had watery and bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol when he was arrested in September 2006. Authorities also said Williams was verbally abusive.

Williams testified he was not intoxicated, but acknowledged he lied when an officer asked him if he had any drinks.

Williams first pleaded no contest, but was allowed to drop his plea and go to trial.
