onFirst Rocky Bernard gets arrested for domestic violence, and now there’s this:
Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu was arrested Saturday for investigation of driving while intoxicated.Tatupu was arrested in Kirkland at about 2:30 Saturday morning after an officer observed his car driving at what the officer estimated was in excess of 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.
Tatupu submitted to field-sobriety tests, but declined to take a portable Breathalyzer. He was arrested, handcuffed without incident and taken to the police station. His blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) was measured at 0.155 and 0.158 when it was measured after 4, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.
Maybe we don’t need Chris Henry after all.

Damnit... Lofa has long been my favorite Seahawk. I wonder if Deon Grant is a drinker or wife beater...
"0.155 and 0.158 when it was measured after 4"
Ah yes, taking a few drinks "for the road". Always a good idea.
Oh, jeez. Bernard and Tatupu were always the most fun to watch. This is such a bummer.
Damn it, Lofa, you were supposed to be one of the well-behaved ones!
He's been a good kid up to this point and isn't a career criminal like Chris Henry or Jerramy Stevens, so I'm hoping he takes this as a wake-up call, realizes he's supposed to be a team leader, and acts like one by never doing something fucked up like this again.
oh christ. they're the bengals except for the fact that they're GOOD.
i'm sick of DUIs being treated as if the player raped a 12 year old sex worker or smoked dope out of a human head. getting busted for a DUI is largely a matter of chance. if you have a car & you drink, you have driven over the legal limit.
and i should point out, this is the KIRKLAND cops. the only place i've ever lived where the cops were as happy to bust anyone & everyone was, drumroll...
CINCINNATI.
Drunk driving in Kirkland is just not classy.
Well, Max, you're wrong. I don't drive drunk. And what I'm sick of is the presumption that athletes shouldn't be subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Good kid? He's a grownup.
You can take the boy out of 'SC, but you can't take the 'SC out of the boy. Simpson --> Bush --> Mayo --> Tatupu.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
I'm sorry, but if your name rhymes with poo-poo, trouble is just gonna come a-knockin'.
@8, Nobody was saying that he shouldn't be subject to the same laws as regular folk. The cops didn't let him go or give him a ride home because he's a famous football player. He was arrested and will have to pay the penalty.
I don't drive drunk now but I have in the past. Many times. Especially when I was his age. I was just very fortunate that I didn't get into an accident or get pulled over. So I can't pass judgement on Tatupu for getting a DUI.
What the fuck is wrong with you drunk drivers? Surely you understand the great force behind a ton of steel at 60, even 30 miles per hour. Sometimes I wish windshields had never been invented so drivers could feel how fast they were going. Be more responsible, eh?
don't speed thru Kirkland /
Bellevue Just don't do it- they are sneaky mofo's thru there.
drinkin or not - which I would prefer not but just saying they are sticklers for their speed limits.
listen up BMW tailgaters!
What I don't understand is, if you just signed a contract extension for $42 million, why the hell can you not call a cab? Hell, you can rent your own car.
And for the BAC he had, I can only wonder what and how much he had been drinking to achieve that.
Oh Lofa, I still have faith in you.
