Dillon Brooks arrested for driving under the influence

A complicated night for Dillon Brooks. The Phoenix Suns forward was arrested in the early hours of Friday in Scottsdale on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI).

The news was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by local police to the outlet 12News. No further official details about the incident have been released at this time.

Arrest in the early hours of the night

According to reports, Dillon Brooks was stopped by police around 2:00 a.m. After the arrest, the player was held for about an hour and a half before being released at 3:20 a.m. Sources cited by U.S. media said the player was cooperative and respectful with officers during the procedures.

Images released afterward show the basketball player in the typical mugshot, looking at the camera while wearing a white tank top and his long beard.

The incident reportedly occurred just a few hours after the Phoenix Suns’ loss, a 105–103 defeat against the Chicago Bulls. Brooks was not on the court, having been sidelined for several weeks with a hand fracture that has kept him off the floor since late February.

Awaiting further developments

At the moment, no further official details have been released regarding the arrest or any potential legal or disciplinary consequences.

The Phoenix Suns recently released the following statement:
