The Chicago Tribune reports that Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson has been stopped by police in Arizona suspicion of DUI. Technically, he was detained for "being impaired to the slightest degree." Johnson provided a blood sample for testing, and results are expected within two weeks. He has not yet been charged with DUI or "being impaired to the slightest degree."

The legal limit in Arizona (and in every state, we believe) is 0.08 percent blood alcohol concentration.

This can cause a couple of problems for Johnson. First, his eight-game suspension that could have been reduced to six games most likely won't be, even though Tank vowed after the suspension was imposed that he would not have any further off-field troubles.

Second, if he's charged he could be faced with another suspension from Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Third, assuming that Johnson is still on probation for his two prior weapons charges, evidence that he was drinking any alcohol could be enough to get his probation revoked, since most if not all deals of that nature require the defendant to avoid alcohol for the full term of the probation.

So, in other words, Tank could soon be snacking again on summer sausages from the friendly confines of cement blocks and steel bars
