Taurasi cited for drunk driving

Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi said that she's embarrassed after being cited for drunk driving a few hours after she helped lead her team to victory over the Seattle Storm.

An officer stopped Taurasi early Thursday for speeding, Phoenix police spokesman Luis Samudio said. The officer smelled alcohol and gave the player several field sobriety tests, according to a police statement.

Taurasi, the WNBA's leading fan vote-getter for the July 25 All-Star game, was then driven to a mobile DUI van, where she gave a blood sample, then was cited and released. Authorities did not know her blood-alcohol content.

Former Hawaii quarterback Timmy Chang, one of the most prolific passers in college football history, has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and released without charges pending further investigation. Chang, 27, was arrested at his Mililani, Hawaii, home Thursday after a woman alleged her camera was taken away from her while she was filming a brawl last month.
