As Simpson got out of a red Dodge Charger, the trooper observed him with watery eyes and slightly slurred speech. Simpson said he was at the Pour House,
Air Max 97 Scontate, a popular bar nearby, but denied that he'd been drinking.
The trooper said Simpson failed three field sobriety tests, and a preliminary breath test allegedly registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.095 percent. The legal limit for driving in Minnesota is 0.08.
