Veteran NBC Sports Announcer Al Michaels Jailed for Drunk-Driving
Santa Monica, California
Police in Southern California say they arrested NBC Sports announcer Al Michaels for suspicion of drunken driving.
Santa Monica police Sgt. Thomas McLaughlin confirmed that Michaels was taken into custody Friday night.
NBC Sports has already made a statement. Spokesman Greg Hughes says the company "is aware of the situation" and has been in contact with Michaels.
The 68-year-old Michaels is an Emmy Award winner and broadcaster on "Sunday Night Football," remembered for nearly three decades at ABC Sports before moving to NBC in the 2007.
Michaels worked NFL games and other sports for ABC, and called "Monday Night Football" for nearly 20 years. He also is known for his call of the U.S.-Soviet Union "Miracle on Ice" game at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
