Former NFL running back Eddie Lacy allegedly had a blood alcohol (BAC) level of .325% when he was taken into police custody in Scottsdale, Arizona, Sept. 30, according to TMZ Sports.
That's roughly four times the legal limit in Arizona.
Lacy, who spent time with the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, was arrested around 10:40 p.m. after someone called 911 attempting "to locate a possible impaired driver." The caller also offered a description of the vehicle, police said.
Lacy was later arrested for four DUI violations — including an extreme DUI charge — and possession of an open container of alcohol inside a vehicle, the Scottsdale Police Department previously confirmed to Fox News Digital. In Arizona, an extreme DUI charge can be applied to a BAC of at least .15%.

"Eddie’s speech was slow," an officer stated in a police report obtained by TMZ. "Slurred and mumbled as soon as I began talking to him."

Lacy appeared to inform police he was "not out of pocket," according to bodycam footage. He claimed he had one drink on a flight from Wisconsin that arrived in Arizona shortly before the incident.
September's arrest was the latest in a string of issues Lacy has faced while driving in Arizona. In March 2022, he was charged in a five-count case in Scottsdale City Court.
The case involved a DUI and included two counts of extreme DUI. Four of the charges were eventually dismissed after the city attorney submitted a request, according to information available online. Lacy pleaded guilty to having an extreme DUI with a BAC of at least .20%. He also had to pay a fine.
Lacy entered a guilty plea in September 2022 to a charge of driving with a license suspended, revoked or canceled.
Lacy was a standout at Alabama before entering the 2013 NFL Draft, and the Packers took him 61st overall in the second round.
He immediately made an impact in the pros, winning the 2013 Offensive Rookie of the Year award after rushing for 1,178 yards with 11 touchdowns in 15 games. Lacy was also named to the Pro Bowl that season.
Lacy ran for 1,139 yards and nine touchdowns the following year, but his career trajectory began to take a tumble from there.
He dealt with injuries starting in 2015 as ankle and groin injuries mounted. Then, in 2016, Lacy was placed on injured reserve after another ankle injury midway through the season.
Lacy played just five games that year, and the Packers didn't offer him a long-term contract after his fourth season and the end of his rookie deal.
During that time, Lacy was dealing with weight issues, and teams wanted him to get under 250 pounds. The Packers and Minnesota Vikings were among teams that considered a one-year pact, but he ultimately signed with the Seahawks, and he got under the weight requirement.
However, Seattle had a crowded backfield in 2017, and Lacy played just nine games (three starts), running for 179 yards and no touchdowns.
