(AP Photo/Jeffrey T. Barnes, File)CONROE, Texas Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped the drunken driving and illegal handgun charges against Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver, who had been arrested in May during a traffic stop in Houstons northern suburbs.
The charges are dropped due to lack of evidence after blood test results showed no intoxication, said Kelly Blackburn, spokesman for the Montgomery County District Attorneys Office.
So when the DWI (driving-while-intoxicated charge) is dismissed, its not illegal to have a pistol with you, Patterson said.
The Bills posted a statement on Twitter, saying they were pleased with the ruling regarding their 2019 first-round draft pick.
Oliver failed a field sobriety test and the deputies found a small-caliber pistol in his truck, according to the offense report.
