Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks is officially facing a driving under the influence charge, stemming from an arrest that actually happened way back in March in Scottsdale, Arizona. This isn’t some fresh incident; online court records just rolled out the Class 1 misdemeanor charge, and Brooks has a court date for it set for October 28.
March Arrest Details and the Silence from the Suns
The DUI charge comes from an incident on March 6. Brooks was pulled over around 1 a.m., arrested after an investigation, and then released from jail after booking around 3:30 a.m. What’s wild is he was already out of commission at the time, dealing with a fractured left hand. The Suns’ senior vice president of communications, Stacey Mitch, dropped a short statement saying, “We have addressed the matter with Dillon and have no further comment.” That “no further comment” tells you all you need to know about where they stand, right?
More Charges and a Massive Contract
And get this, the DUI isn’t the only legal battle Brooks has on his plate. He’s also staring down separate misdemeanor reckless driving and speeding charges from a completely different arrest in January. That court date is scheduled for November 9. All this comes after a season where the 30-year-old averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game and then inked a massive $73 million, three-year extension during the offseason, keeping him with the Suns through 2030. ESPN was the first to break these developments.
So yeah, Brooks has those two court dates coming up , October 28 for the DUI and November 9 for the reckless driving and speeding charges. The Suns clearly said their piece, now we just wait to see how this plays out for their $73 million man.
