Falcons’ Stone faces DUI charge
Daren Stone, the former Lockport High School defensive back who is now a strong safety for the Atlanta Falcons, was arrested in downtown Atlanta on Sunday morning and charged with driving under the influence, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported Monday.
He was released about 5:30 p. m. Sunday after posting a $1,591 bond, an official with the City of Atlanta jail confirmed to the newspaper. Stone is expected to meet with Falcons officials today to discuss the incident.
Stone’s agent, Sunny Shah, declined comment. Stone primarily played on special teams but also backed up former Buffalo Bill Lawyer Milloy as a rookie at strong safety. He appeared in 12 games and recorded 10 tackles.
The University of Maine graduate was selected in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
