Brent Schrotenboer of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports an attorney for Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson has asked the court to suppress evidence obtained as a result of Jackson's Jan. 6 arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.

In a motion filed Thursday in San Diego Superior Court, Jackson's attorney said Jackson was forced to have his blood drawn “against his will” after repeatedly requesting a breath test instead, as was his right.

Jackson's blood-alcohol content measured 0.17 percent, according to court records. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent.

If successful, the motion would suppress the blood test results.

At the time of his arrest, Jackson was on five years probation for a 2006 drunken driving arrest and conviction in San Diego.
