Chicago Bears defensive lineman Terry "Tank" Johnson was pulled over for speeding by Gilbert police early this morning, and had blood drawn at the police station on suspicion of driving impaired or drunk driving.

Gilbert Police spokesman Sgt. Andrew Duncan released a statement this afternoon with details of the McClintock High graduate's arrest.

"Gilbert Police stopped Johnson for driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone on Gilbert Road at about 3:30 a.m. on Friday morning. Observations were made at the scene leading the officer to believe that Johnson was impaired,"

The statement added "Johnson was arrested for DUI impaired to the slightest degree," and was transported to police headquarters to have blood drawn.

"Johnson was cooperative with the process and was released pending lab analysis of the blood sample," police said.

Police did not book or charge Johnson and "DUI charges are pending lab analysis results."

In the statement, Gilbert police declined to comment or conduct interviews "to avoid the perception of "grandstanding" and to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial."

Already preparing to sit out eight games in the upcoming NFL season, Johnson's season becomes even cloudier after reports said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Johnson's suspension could be reduced to six if he had no further incidents with law enforcement.

Johnson was released from jail on May 13, after serving 60 days of a 120-day sentence after pleading guilty to violating probation on a 2005 weapons charge.
