Earlier this week Eugene Fields plead guilty in Fort Smith District Court to drunk driving in Arkansas. Fields was the center of controversy after a 2003 Arkansas DWI sentence was commuted by then-Governor, and current Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee commuted his sentence, making Fields immediately eligible for release. Citing jail overcrowding, the long-time Republican Party donor was freed despite having served only one year of his sentence.

Phoenix DUI News: Giants football player arrested for extreme Arizona DUI

Adrian Awasom was arrested by the Arizona State Police for suspicion of drunk driving after being stopped at 3:00 am Friday on Interstate 10 in Phoenix. Though the results of blood tests are still pending, the Arizona Department of Public Safety has said the NFL player has been charged with extreme DUI, which indicates an elevated blood alcohol content.

The backup defensive end for the New York Giants is in Phoenix for the Super Bowl XLII. He arrived Thursday with the team, though he has been on injured reserve since September.

A spokesman for the Giants has said the team is aware of the situation and that Awasom has been sent home.
