Running Back Miles Sanders Faces DUI Charge From June Arrest

Police say Miles Sanders showed signs of intoxication, failed sobriety tests and had marijuana in his vehicle after the June 8 arrest.

  • Former NFL running back Miles Sanders was charged with DUI and careless driving following his June 8 arrest in Churchill Borough near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
  • According to the criminal complaint, an officer found Sanders slumped in his Lexus on William Penn Highway, where he appeared "in and out of consciousness" and "extremely lethargic."
  • Allegheny County court records show charges were filed August 20, with Sanders' preliminary hearing now scheduled for October 28 after an initial September date.
  • Sanders' attorney, Phil DiLucente, told KDKA-TV on Wednesday, "This is a private matter that has not even reached the preliminary hearing stage and there will be no further comment."
  • The unsigned 29-year-old free agent has rushed for 4,462 yards and 24 touchdowns in 88 NFL games but faces this legal situation while seeking another opportunity after a 2025 season-ending injury.
