Diana Taurasi Charged with DUI

PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix police say leading Phoenix Mercury scorer
Diana Taurasi was cited for drunken driving just a
few hours after the club's win over the Seattle Storm.
Phoenix police spokesman Luis Samudio says an officer stopped
Taurasi at about 2:30 Thursday morning for allegedly speeding. A
police statement says the officer smelled alcohol and gave her
several field sobriety tests.
Taurasi 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.
Taurasi, a guard, scored 22 points and blocked four shots in
Wednesday night's 93-81 win over the Storm. She is the WNBA's
leading fan vote-getter ahead of the league's July 25 All-Star
game.
