Police arrested former University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan late Wednesday night in Kailua on suspicion of drunken driving and promotion of a dangerous drug, police said today.
Officers arrested Brennan, 28,
on Kailua Road near the Uluowa Street intersection just before midnight
on suspicion of driving under the influence and third-degree promotion
of a dangerous drug, police said. The drug charge is a Class C felony
punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Brennan was transferred from the
Kailua station to the main police station at about 6 a.m. He remained
in police custody this morning. He has not been charged with a felony.
The DUI case is a misdemeanor.
Brennan's arrest drew a small
crowd at a nearby 7-Eleven store and Aloha gas station, where he failed a
field sobriety test, a source said.
A small amount of drugs was found in the car. It’s not clear yet what kind of drugs are involved.

Former
University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan told the Honolulu
Star-Advertiser he has been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury.
Brennan
said the condition was caused from injuries suffered in a 2010 two-car
accident in which he was a passenger. Brennan was hospitalized for eight
days with injuries to his head, ribs and collarbone from the Big Island
accident on Nov. 19, 2010.
Brennan
signed with the Los Angeles KISS of the Arena Football League on Oct.
29, 2013. During the team's physical examinations, Brennan's condition
was detected. Brennan said he was diagnosed with TBI following a series
of medical tests. Dr. Vernon Williams specializes in neurology and pain
management.
The KISS placed Brennan on the physically-unable-to-perform list last week.
"They did
some tests, and there were major concerns about me playing football,"
said Brennan, adding, "I was medically not cleared to play."
Brennan
said he will meet with a neurologist in Hawaii next week for a second
opinion. He also wants to find out why he received medical clearance to
play in what became short stints with the Hartford Colonials of the
United Football League in 2011 and Saskatchewan of the Canadian Football
League in 2012.
Brennan said he and his Honolulu neurologist will review "these new tests just so I can know if football is really over."
Brennan
set several NCAA records, including most touchdown passes in a season
(58), in a three-year UH career. He was the Washington Redskins'
sixth-round pick in the 2008 National Football League draft. Brennan was
with the Redskins for two seasons, spending the 2009 season on injured
reserved, before being released in 2010. He was with the Oakland Raiders
for a month in 2010 before also being released.
This past July, Brennan pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of alcohol. He was fined $300.
