76er Coleman charged in DUI case

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., July 29 (UPI) -- Philadelphia 76ers forward Derrick Coleman Monday faced charges of driving 100 mph and operating a vehicle under the influence.

Coleman, 35, of Detroit, was picked up Saturday on Interstate 696.

Police Chief William Dwyer said Coleman was alone in his 2003 Land Rover and driving 100 mph in a 70 mph zone. He said Coleman refused to take a Breathalyzer test but officers said they "detected the odor of intoxicants" on his breath.

Coleman allegedly told police he had been drinking champagne.

He was released on $150 bond after submitting to a court-ordered blood test and his car was impounded.
