— The drunken driving charge against Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was dropped Tuesday because a related DUI charge against his brother-in-law was bargained down to reckless driving. McNair was only a passenger when Nashville police stopped his Dodge pickup truck on May 9 for speeding. But the former Tennessee Titan was charged because police said McNair allowed his vehicle to be driven by someone who was inebriated, his brother-in-law Jamie Cartwright.
Cartwright refused to take a breath alcohol test and was charged with drunken driving. Police said he admitted drinking two beers, smelled of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test. Because Cartwright's DUI charge was dropped with his plea bargain, the charge against McNair was dismissed.
McNair was in court when General Sessions Court Judge Bill Higgins dismissed his charge. "He's a good individual," said his attorney, Roger May. "He tried to do the right thing, what he thought was the right thing in this situation, without knowing that it was a violation of Tennessee law.
