Miami Beach police arrested Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen this weekend and charged him with driving under the influence. He was booked in Miami and held on $1,000 bond.

According to the arrest affidavit, Allen revved the engine of his Ferrari at a police barricade at about 3:30 a.m. When an officer approached, Allen lowered his window, and told the officer, “I gotta get through.”

When the officer told Allen that the road was closed due to a traffic accident, Allen reportedly replied, “You don’t understand. I gotta get through.” Officers noticed that Allen had bloodshot eyes and a “constant sleepy look.” They asked him to get out of his car four times before he finally exited the car.

The arrest report indicates that Allen was given two Breathalyzer tests, as required under Florida law. The result of one test showed his blood alcohol level at more than twice the legal limit of .08. The other test registered .152, according to the arrest affidavit.

A nine-year NFL veteran, Allen missed the final 10 games last season because of a knee injury that required surgery.
