Rams defensive end Leonard Little, who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaugher in a 1998 fatal accident in which he was driving drunk, was a
rested early Saturday for driving while intoxicated.
Ladue police said Little was arrested at 3:57 a.m. Saturday for a speeding violation on westbound Interstate 64-40. A police spokesman said Little
wa
booked and released after being issued two traffic summons. The summons will be handled in Ladue Munic
ipal Court.
Scott Rosenblum, Little's attorney, said "the Rams are aware of the situation."
Rosenblum said he did not yet know details of the incident. "It's way too premature to make any comment on any of the specifics. The details are pretty sketchy."
The team referred questions to Little's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, who didn't immediately return a telephone messsage from The Associated Press.
Little went to his first Pro Bowl after last season and has played with the Rams his entire six-year career. He was fifth in the NFL with 12.5 sacks last year and has 39 sacks the last three years, third-highest over that span.
He was suspe
nded for the first eight games of the 1999 season after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a June 1998 crash that killed Susan Gutweiler of Oakville. Little was sentenced to 90 days
in t
he c
ity workhou
se and four years' probation, and ordered to perform 1,000 hours of community service.
The accident occurred after a night of celebrat
ing on Little's 24th birthday. A blood test showed Little had a blood-alcohol level of .19, nearly twice the legal limit of .10, at the time of the accident.
