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 yesterday morning. Police say officers smelled alcohol and that Walker looked sleepy.

Police say he refused to take a breathalyser 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 Timber-wolves 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.
