Vince Young on DWI arrest: 'Just an allegation, I'm not guilty'

One week after being arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Fort Bend County, former University of Texas and NFL star quarterback Vince Young said he intends to battle the case in the legal system.

The College Football Hall of Famer and Pro Bowl selection was arrested at 4:30 a.m. Monday and discharged from jail on a $500 bail.

Young allegedly had slurred speech, a strong odor of alcohol and failed all sobriety tests, according to police.

"I've got a real good lawyer, one of the best in the country," Young said Saturday during a Tristar Productions autograph show at NRG Arena. "We're going to fight the case. It's just an allegation. I'm not guilty."

I wouldn't be shocked to find out he was inebriated, and I wouldn't be shocked to find out he was just on prescription medication of some kind either. He's a great example of somebody who was thisclose to having everything, but the tragic flaw blew it all up in his face. He's probably not headed for a happy ending, and it's really just sad watching him get there one step at a time.
