'Dancing With the Stars' champion and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward was busted for driving under the influence early Saturday morning.According to TMZ, Ward was arrested in Dekalb County, Georgia -- not too far from his home in Sandy Springs. He was held on $1,000 bond, which he paid, and has since been released. No other details were immediately available.
Ward competed on the most recent season of 'DWTS' along with Kendra Wilkinson, Kirstie Alley and Ralph Macchio.
The finale came down to Ward and Alley, with Ward taking home the trophy with dance pro Kym Johnson.

Your opinion is why thousands of people every year are killed by drunk drivers.
This is a shame for Ward but at least he can afford a lawyer to reduce the charges!

So disappointing. Kids look up to him. He should give a public apology.

Hines WILL do a public apology. Pittsburghers know he is a wonderful inspiration for our kids. He is one who will be truly sorry he did this, rather than be sorry he was caught.
Please do not drink and get behind the wheel. Please don't endanger the driving public. You should know better.
Very disappointed.

Hines is "Ketchup" He should never have won DWTS in the first second or third place. I wonder if his fans would vote for the drunk now !

BV, First grow up before you post ten year old post's on AOL, And yes I would still vote for Hine's, He made a big mistake and I hope he learn's from it.
Hey Larry : Hines made a mistake ! Yeh, Sure, He got caught and luckily before he hit someone. I guess it takes your ten year old mind not to have figured out that one. Jerk!!

These so called sports stars are sorry examples for the kids who idolize them.

Was he drunk? Did he test for being over the limit? Don't judge until you have all the facts.

Oh, Hines say it isn't so. You have been my absolute favorite of all time on DWTS.
We all make mistakes, I hope you learned from this one. Still love you.

He made an honest mistake. He's human. He's a gentleman and a great sportsman. He's someone that we all can look up to !

And I'm sure his honest mistake would be a good defense if someone was dead because of it.
this is not news. this is typical thug behavior. if they aren't shooting/stabbing themselves or another thug, they are driving drunk or high on crack or selling crack at 3am.
