Police said Phelps was speeding excessively and crossing double lane lines within the Fort McHenry Tunnel on Interstate 95 in Baltimore around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday. He was later released.
MdTA said an officer was operating stationary radar on southbound I-395 leaving Baltimore City when a white 2014 Land Rover entered the radar’s area of influence at excessive speed, traveling 84 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The officer followed the vehicle onto northbound I-95, through the tunnel and initiated an enforcement stop just beyond the tunnel’s toll plaza, police said.
Police said Phelps was identified as the driver by his driver’s license and appeared to be under the influence and was unable to perform satisfactorily a series of standard field sobriety tests.
Phelps was cooperative throughout the process, police said.
This is the second time Phelps has been charged with a DUI. The first came in 2004, when Phelps was 19. Maryland state troopers in Salisbury, Md., stopped Phelps after he failed to stop at a stop sign.
