Broncos Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall has had another run-in with Denver Police.
CompleteColorado.com is first to report that the wide receiver was ticketed on I-25 Northbound, June 12th of this year for allegedly
disobeying his lane assignment, driving without a license, and driving without proof of insurance. If convicted of those charges,
Marshall would receive 10 points on his driver's license. According to Colorado law, an adult driver can have their license
suspended for the accumulation of 12 points within 12 months. Marshall is also facing 18 license points for DUI charges (12 points for the DUI, 6 points for other infractions) stemming from
an arrest by Denver Police last October.
On March 27th of this year during a press conference, the athlete told a group of reporters, "My goal for the summer is to be clean-cut and don't get into trouble..."
CompleteColorado.com contacted the Denver Office of Safety to request a copy of the citation
but that request was denied because of Marshall's ongoing DUI case. The office said release of the new
information "could compromise the prosecution and Mr. Marshall's right to a fair trial." Marshall's DUI trial in Denver court had been scheduled for June 18th, but was continued. It is not known if these latest driving charges factored into the continuation of the DUI trial. CompleteColorado.com
was first to report that the footballer's own statements at a press conference this past March could be used against him in the DUI case if prosecutors are successfull in admitting those comments into evidence.
As with the DUI charges from October, Marshall is represented by attorney Harvey Steinberg. Mr. Steinberg also
represents known gang member Brian Hicks. Although Hicks was in jail January 01, 2007, an SUV registerd in his
name is believed to have been the vehicle used in the drive-by murder of Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.
