Report Shows Jalen Rose Failed Tests Before Arrest

DETROIT — Former Michigan and NBA player Jalen Rose told authorities he hadn’t been drinking and performed poorly on several tests to determine if he was intoxicated after rolling his Cadillac Escalade on a snowy Michigan road, according to a police report.

The report said Rose registered a 0.088 blood-alcohol level two hours after the March 11 crash. Michigan’s legal limit is 0.08.

Rose, 38, was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.

He was driving the 2004 SUV along Walnut Lake Road when it veered off the roadway about 2:10 a.m. and rolled over. Neither Rose nor his female passenger was hurt in the crash.

After he was taken into custody, an in-car police video showed Rose stretched across the rear seat of a patrol car.

“There’s no reason to arrest me,” Rose told the officer. When he was told it was for driving while intoxicated, Rose replied: “For what, sir? But I haven’t been drinking.”

At one point, he asked “what does .08 mean” after being told of the results of his test.
