US sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams gets arrested for DUI — months after 12-year doping ban

AUGUST, Florida — American sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams was arrested earlier in August on a DUI charge in Florida, adding to what’s been a troubling year for the former world championship silver medalist.
Arrest and charges
Police said they arrived at the scene while a tow truck was pulling his vehicle out of a ditch, per TMZ.
The tow truck driver informed officers that Bracy-Williams was allegedly passed out behind the wheel when he arrived, according to the documents.
The car was allegedly still running and in gear at the time.
The driver contacted his employer and requested law enforcement assistance because he believed Bracy-Williams was intoxicated at the time.
Police said Bracy-Williams smelled like alcohol and performed poorly on the field sobriety tests before officers decided to arrest him.
This also arrives at a worrying time for Bracy-Williams, who has faced multiple suspensions in less than a year.
Charges and court proceedings
According to court documents viewed by The Post, Bracy-Williams, 32, was arrested on Aug. 3 in Orlando.
