Run-in with the law

LOS ANGELES: Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis was arrested for investigation of misdemeanour driving under the influence of alcohol after an accident on Monday. The 41-year-old track star wasn't injured. The California Highway Patrol found Lewis alone in a 2004 Maserati and noticed signs of alcohol intoxication, a police official said. Lewis failed a series of field sobriety tests and was arrested. A breath test at a police station showed that his blood-alcohol level was 0.08 per cent, the level at which a driver is considered intoxicated in California. Lewis, who had a Texas driver's license, was released to a friend.
