NEW YORK _ Former New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad (Mo) Wilkerson was busted for drunk driving early Saturday after he was caught rolling through a stop sign in Washington Heights, officials said.
Wilkerson, 29, was driving a 2019 Rolls Royce Suburban when he was pulled over on Riverside Drive and W. 168th St. at about 3:40 a.m., cops said.
Police were about to give him a ticket, but realized he was drunk behind the wheel.
According to court documents, Wilkerson told the cops, "I had a shot and two beers."
He was charged with drunk driving after failing a breathalyzer test, scoring .09, a hair over the legal limit.
The former Temple University football star was the Jets first-round draft pick in 2011. Gang Green sacked him at the end of the 2017 season for underachieving and being habitually late.
He recorded only eight sacks in 28 games with the team and was disciplined multiple times for repeatedly being late to meetings and missing a practice.
Last season, he played for the Green Bay Packers, but suffered a season-ending injury in week three. He is currently a free agent.
