LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden thought he was in Florida and not Nevada when speaking with police officers arresting him on a DUI charge, according to video the 8 News Now Investigators obtained Wednesday.

Las Vegas Metro police released three videos from Snowden’s Dec. 10 arrest on Wednesday as part of a public records request.

Tests showed Snowden’s blood-alcohol level was more than double the legal limit after officers found him asleep and unresponsive in a running SUV, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.

Snowden’s car was stuck on a wall and propped up on a shopping cart in a parking lot near Rainbow Boulevard near Sunset Road in the southwest valley, police said. Officers responded to the car after receiving a report about a “suspicious vehicle,” 8 News Now first reported.

Snowden was in the driver’s seat of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that “had almost rolled off a four-foot retaining wall,” according to a police report the 8 News Now Investigators first obtained. The car’s engine was running, and the gear was in neutral.

Video shows officers attempting to wake up Snowden as he sits in the driver’s seat.

“The driver would wake up for a few seconds, look around but not seem to see the officers and fall back asleep,” police said. After 10 minutes, Snowden unbuckled his seat belt, turned the car off and got out of the car.

“What are you doing out here?” an officer asks Snowden.

“Trying to get home,” Snowden said.

“Trying to get home? Where are you coming from? Do you know what state you’re in?” the officer asks.

“Florida,” Snowden said.

“You’re not in Florida. Do you know what city?” the officer asks.

Snowden, wearing a Santa hat with “Raiders” on it, fails to answer officers’ questions and appears to then fall asleep on the hood of a cruiser.

“Mr. Snowden will be entering a not guilty plea and we will respond in court, which is the appropriate forum,” Snowden’s attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said in a statement after their client’s arrest.

Police took two blood samples from Snowden, which is standard in DUI investigations. The results showed ethanol concentrations of 0.19 and 0.18. The legal limit in Nevada is 0.08.

“The Raiders are aware of the incident involving Charles Snowden and have been in contact with the NFL and local authorities,” a team spokesperson said in a statement after the arrest. “The club will not comment further as this is a legal matter.”

An arraignment was scheduled for April. The charge, DUI of alcohol and/or controlled or prohibited substance, first offense, is a misdemeanor.

Snowden remained on the Raiders’ roster as of Wednesday.
