MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Former NBA player Antoine Walker has
been charged with suspicion of drunken driving in Miami Beach.

Police say Walker was driving a black Mercedes without the
lights on when he was pulled over early Monday morning. Police say
officers smelled alcohol and that Walker looked sleepy.

Police say he refused to take a Breathalyzer test.

Walker was a three-time All-Star forward for the Boston Celtics
and helped the Miami Heat win the NBA championship in 2006.

Walker struggled in 46 games with the Minnesota Timberwolves
last season. His contract was bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies
in December but he hasn't played this season.

Walker was being held on a $1,000 bond and did not immediately
have an attorney.
