Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin hit media headlines last February when he was arrested on suspicion of extreme DUI in Scottsdale. Yet the hockey player's name is now being thrown around once again since he was sentenced to 30 days in jail over the incident last week.

The Toronto Sun reports that a Scottsdale judge also sentenced Nikolai Khabibulin to complete an alcohol-education program and pay fines of more than $1,500 in addition to spending 30 days behind bars. But will the hockey player follow through with this sentence?

The Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin was charged with DUI last February after his Scottsdale drunk driving arrest, but CBC News now reports that the hockey star's lawyer is asking Arizona courts to throw out the charges and argues that his client's constitutional rights were violated.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Arizona DUI attorney Mark DuBiel is now doing everything that he can to prove his client's innocence by examining all the evidence in the case. Nikolai Khabibulin's lawyer reportedly plans to testify that studies from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the U.S. say standard field sobriety tests should not be given to certain people who would have difficulty with them sober, including people who are over 65 years of age, people with back, leg or middle-ear problems and people with high-heeled shoes.

The mother of Amar'e Stoudemire is bringing a little bit of drama to the Phoenix Suns while the team is trying to clinch a win for the NBA Western Conference Championships.

Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin officially has his Scottsdale DUI trial set for July 7 and has an evidentiary hearing on scheduled for June 21.

Mr. Nikolai Khabibulin plays for the Edmonton hockey team, but the man actually owns a home in Paradise Valley. The Edmonton Journal reports that he was arrested not far from his home when driving a black Ferrari on February 8.

This is because Arizona is known to have some of the harshest DUI laws in the country.

Some Arizona Cardinals fans may have been upset when they found out that the team's new linebacker Joey Porter was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Bakersfield, California. However, The Huffington Post now reports that Mr. Porter and his DUI attorney will no longer have to worry about the drunk driving charge. This is because prosecutors in Kern County have found insufficient evidence from the suspected DUI incident.

A supervising district attorney explained in a statement, "Based upon the information that was provided to us by the CHP, we did not believe that there would be a reasonable likelihood that a jury would find Mr. Porter guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations."

Bad news for the Arizona Cardinals has hit local football fans, as veteran NFL linebacker Joey Porter was arrested on Saturday in Bakersfield, CA on suspicion of DUI. Mr. Porter recently signed a three-year, $24.5 million contract with the Cardinals on March 19, according to AHN News.

In addition to drunk driving, Mr. Porter has been accused of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. According to the Bakersfield Californian, all of Mr. Porter's charges are misdemeanors. He was taken into custody after refusing to provide his driver's license when officers pulled him over. A police report says that Mr. Porter's breath smelled of alcohol and that he slapped the hand of an officer who tried to unlock his door as the linebacker was trying to roll up his car window.
