MIAMI (AP) - Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth
said on a 911 call that the man he struck and killed while driving
drunk came out of nowhere.
Stallworth, a former New Orleans Saints player, is serving a
30-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter in
the March 14 death of 59-year-old Mario Reyes. Stallworth also has
two years’ house arrest after his release from jail and is
suspended indefinitely by the NFL.
On the 911 call released Monday, Stallworth describes how the
victim “just ran in front of my car.” Police have said Reyes was
not in a crosswalk and was rushing to catch a bus when he was hit.
Stallworth tells the 911 operator, “You got to send an
ambulance right now, man.”
Stallworth also reached an undisclosed financial settlement with
Reyes’ family.
