PHOENIX (Reuters) - Former National Football League quarterback Donovan McNabb's blood-alcohol content was twice the legal limit when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Arizona last month, police said on Tuesday.

Police in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert said laboratory results showed the ex-Philadelphia Eagles star registered a 0.171 percent level, considered to be an "extreme DUI" under Arizona law.

The legal limit in the state is 0.08 percent and extreme DUI is 0.
