Overview
- Scottsdale prosecutors filed a criminal complaint on the DUI charge that grew out of a March 6 traffic stop where officers arrested Brooks on suspicion of impairment.
- Body-camera footage from the March stop shows an officer saying the vehicle smelled like a dispensary and Brooks registered 0.0 on a portable breathalyzer while a blood sample was taken for further testing.
- Court records show the charge is a Class 1 misdemeanor and Brooks is scheduled to be arraigned on October 28, a date that overlaps the Suns’ start-of-season period.
- The Phoenix Suns said they have addressed the matter internally and declined further comment, and Brooks’ attorney said he will let the legal process proceed.
- Brooks also faces a separate January misdemeanor reckless-driving and speeding case with a trial readiness conference set for November 9, and the NBA typically waits for court outcomes before considering independent discipline.
