Denver Broncos director of pro personnel Tom Heckert blew a 0.162 on his breath test nearly seven hours after his June 11 DUI arrest, according to information obtained by the Denver Post from the Douglas, Colorado County Sheriff's Office. That's nearly double the legal limit.
The Denver Post and ABC-7 in Denver report that Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations Matt Russell breath alcohol content was measured at 0.246 when he was arrested on July 6. That's more than three times the legal limit. Court records obtained by the television station indicate that Russell had an open bottle of peppermint schnapps in his truck when arrested. He was allegedly traveling 40 MPH when he hit a parked police car.
Heckert and Russell were both charged with DUIs in separate incidents that came to light this week.
