Officials with the Miami Beach Police Department have releases the 911 calls made to police following the accident involving Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth, which left a man dead.
Detective Juan Sanchez tells Fox 8 News, the 911 tapes, and the traffic crash investigation report filed following the accident, were used by investigators to better determine what happened when, according to police, Stallworth hit and killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes while driving his Bentley on a busy causeway the morning of March 14th.
Stallworth, 28, has cooperated with police and no charges have been filed, Sanchez said.
Officers drew blood from Stallworth following the accident to test for drugs or alcohol, which is routine in Miami Beach, but according to Sanchez, the results of the toxicology report are not being made available today.
Sanchez, would not confirm or deny that police have the results of the toxicology tests. But he tells fox 8 News, either way, they would become part of a charging document, if or when, Stallworth is ever charged with a crime. Those results will not be released until that time.
The traffic crash investigation report lists speeding and careless driving as contributing causes for the crash, but does not list drugs or alcohol as contributing causes.
The attorney for Stallworth told Fox 8 News last week that neither he nor his client has been made aware of the results of the toxicology report submitted.
Last Thursday, two media outlets in Miami reported that unnamed sources with knowledge of the Stallworth investigation said his blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit at the the time of the fatal accident.
Stallworth's attorney Christopher Lyons told Fox 8 News, "I have been in constant contact with Donte and we have not been made aware of any toxicology report."
Lyons went on to say, "The [Miami Dade Office of the] state's attorney office has not made us aware of the results of any toxicology report."
The Miami Beach Police Department refused to confirm the media reports.
Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns as a free agent before last season but was injured much of the year.
