Former Dallas Cowboys second-round pick Kelvin Joseph was arrested early Saturday morning in Richardson, Texas on charges of driving while intoxicated and collision involving personal injury or death. It was first reported by TMZ and also confirmed by CBS Sports, citing police.
Plano police received a call from Joseph before 6 a.m. local time admitting to authorities that he had been involved in a crash that struck a motorcycle. Joseph’s BMW collided with a motorcycle and killed a 27-year-old woman who was operating the bike. Police said they “observed signs of intoxication” from Joseph, who was taken into custody.
Joseph’s driving while intoxicated charge is a misdemeanor, while the collision involving personal injury or death is a second-degree felony.
