Browns wide receiver Dont? Stallworth was charged Wednesday afternoon with DUI manslaughter by prosecutors in Florida, the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney said.

Prosecutors said the football player was driving drunk at 7:17 a.m. March 14 when he struck and killed pedestrian Mario Reyes, 59, in Miami Beach. The toxicology report showed that Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was .126, which is above Florida's legal limit of 0.08.

Stallworth, 28, is expected to surrender this morning in front of Circuit Judge Dennis Murphy and then be re leased on bond, which will be set at $200,000. He is expected to return to Cleveland to continue to work out in the Browns' off-season program. His arraignment is April 23.

DUI manslaughter is a second-degree felony that carries a minimum of four years to a maximum of 15 years in prison in a conviction.
