Ilgauskas arrested on DUI charge

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.

Ilgauskas, 27, was stopped at 3:59 a.m. Sunday for erratic driving in Bay Village, Ohio, and he failed field sobriety tests, police Lt. John Dixon said.

Dixon said a Breathalyzer test showed that Ilgauskas, of Avon Lake, Ohio, had a blood-alcohol level in excess of 0.10, Ohio's legal limit. Ilgauskas was alone in the vehicle and cooperated with police.

He was released on a personal bond Monday and must appear Wednesday in court.

The 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas played in 62 games and averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds last season after being limited to just 29 games in the previous three seasons because of foot injuries.
