To hear Leben tell it, he “kind of messed up” when he “went down and had a couple of beers with some of the guys from my gym right before I left after practice.” When he got in his new truck and headed for home, he said, he wasn’t intoxicated, but did have some alcohol in his system.
“I’d bought a new truck, and I had never drove a truck before. It had just rained. Apparently I stepped on the gas a little too hard so I kind of slid out and hit the embankment of the highway, and the cops were working right there, so they saw me,” said Leben.
“Somebody told me, you know, you’re not supposed to blow [into a Breathalyzer] if you get pulled over. I don’t know, I guess my lawyer says that’s not necessarily the case now, but I didn’t blow. I didn’t take the test, just because I know that in Hawaii if you get in an accident [the legal blood-alcohol limit is] .05 if there’s an accident, not even .08, so it’s super-duper low. I definitely wasn’t hammered, but I was definitely in the wrong. I didn’t blow so, you know, who knows what’s going to happen now.”
