SEATTLE, May 13 (UPI) -- Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated, police said.

The Seattle Times reported Tuesday Tatupu was arrested in Kirkland, Wash.,early Saturday morning after a police officer observed his car driving in excess of 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.

According to the newspaper, Tatupu submitted to field-sobriety tests, but declined to take a portable Breathalyzer. He was arrested, handcuffed without incident and taken to the police station.

His blood-alcohol concentration reportedly was measured at 0.155 and 0.158, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.

Tatupu, 25, has played three seasons in Seattle and been chosen for the Pro Bowl each time.
