NBA Legend Paul Pierce Gets Locked Up After Dozing Off At The Wheel

Former NBA icon Paul Pierce was apprehended after being found dozing at the wheel on the highway, presenting a perilous situation. Police reported that he exhibited signs of intoxication and now faces DUI allegations. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), officers discovered Pierce in the driver’s seat of his Range Rover, halted in active traffic on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley. This incident occurred amid traffic lane closures due to an ongoing crash investigation, and he was found when the lanes reopened around 11:35 PM. The CHP stated, “Officers noted signs of alcohol impairment” and initiated a DUI inquiry upon encountering him. Subsequently, Pierce was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, violating California Vehicle Code 23152(a), and transported to the CHP Central Los Angeles Area office. Ultimately, the situation underscores a vital lesson: if fatigued, it's prudent to pull over; if intoxicated, avoid driving altogether.
