MEDINA -- The drunken driving trial of Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns is underway in Medina.
A jury has been seated and opening arguments are scheduled to begin.
Droughns' defense won two key rulings when a judge threw out as evidence a pair of field sobriety tests conducted improperly.
Dash cam video of the traffic stop and field tests were released to the media last fall.
Droughns has pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence, failing a
Breathalyzer test and traveling 50 miles per hour in a 35-m.p.h. zone.
