New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan was arrested in Jefferson Parish early Saturday morning for allegedly driving while intoxicated. State Police booked Morgan, 25, with DWI and driving with no license, according to arrest reports.

A trooper happened upon Morgan sometime around midnight Saturday, asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle on the Earhart Expressway near Causeway Boulevard in Jefferson, the arrest report said. The trooper woke Morgan and had him step out of the vehicle.

But the trooper noticed Morgan seemed intoxicated, according to the report. He was swaying on his feet, smelled of alcohol and had unsteady balance and bloodshot eyes, the report said.

After Morgan performed poorly on a field sobriety test, the trooper arrested him and took him the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Morgan's blood alcohol content registered 0.218 percent, more than twice the 0.08-percent legal limit, the arrest report said.

A records check revealed that Morgan did not have a valid driver's license, the report said. Morgan was booked Saturday at the Gretna jail. He was released the same day on a $1,150 bond.

Dammit!!!

As if our WR corps wasn't weak enough already.... HAY-Zeus CHRISTO man!

You had all offseason to do this but you wait for now... NOW!!??

We need another veteran WR, plain and simple. I don't care if Deion Branch is slow, he can help keep these young guys FOCUSED.

Is Laurent Robinson healthy yet???

My understanding was that most teams already have a system in place where someone will pick you up for free, no questions asked.

Which is working soooo well. Lol.

"No questions asked" my arse. Players don't trust owners or the NFL. That's why they don't use that "service". Or maybe they do and we never hear of it.

Players don't want NFL owners "spying" on them, especially when contracts come due...

Crusader

That is correct. There is noexcuse at all for an NFL player to get a DUI.

Not a bad mug shot; there have been worse...
