TURNER WAS FIRST FLAGGED FOR SPEEDING AT 4:06 A-M, AFTER COPS CAUGHT HIS AUDI R-8 DOING 97 IN A 65. APPROACHING OFFICERS SMELLED BOOZE INSIDE MIKE’S RIDE AND ADMINISTERED A BREATHALYZER -- WHICH THE RUNNING BACK BOMBED! HE WAS BOOKED FOR D-U-I IN GEORGIA’S GWINNET COUNTY JAIL, BAILING OUT ONLY 2 HOURS LATER.
TUESDAY MORNING, THE FALCONS RELEASED AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT saying, "WE ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION INVOLVING MICHAEL AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GATHERING MORE INFORMATION. BECAUSE THIS IS NOW A LEGAL MATTER, THE CLUB WILL HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENT AT THIS TIME."
TURNER DID HAVE GOOD REASON TO CELEBRATE – HE RUSHED FOR 42 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON MONDAY NIGHT. BUT WE’RE GUESSING THIS ONE WASN’T IN THE PLAYBOOK.
