Ex-NBA star Jayson Williams to face NYC DWI case

08/20/2010 -

NEW YORK (AP) - Jayson Williams is already in prison for accidentally killing a limo driver, but the former NBA star still is contending with another criminal case.

He has a court date Friday in New York City for a drunken-driving case stemming from a car wreck a week before his January guilty plea in the driver's 2002 death.

The former New Jersey Nets player has pleaded not guilty to driving while intoxicated.

Prosecutors say he had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit after his SUV crashed into a tree Jan. 5.

The 42-year-old Williams is serving a five-year prison sentence in New Jersey. That's where he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for fatally shooting driver Costas Christofi.

He retired from basketball in 2000.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The information contained in the AP News report may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without the prior written authority of The Associated Press.
