CAROLINA PANTHERS DWAYNE JARRETS BREATHALIZER REPORT

Police records show Carolina receiver Dwayne Jarrett's blood-alcohol level was .12 when he was arrested on a driving while impaired charge, above North Carolina's legal limit of .08, according to ESPN. Mecklenburg County court spokesman Charles Keller said Jarrett's blood-alcohol reading was in a police document delivered to the court Wednesday. A hearing involving Jarrett was continued until April 11. The 21-year-old was arrested early Tuesday in the Charlotte suburb of Mint Hill after police said he crossed the centerline and ran a red light.

In related news, Panthers GM Marty Hurney has stated that D.J. Hackett's visit on Friday, has nothing to do with the status of Jarrett.

D.J. Hackett has a strong interest in playing for the Carolina Panthers, according to The Charlotte Observer. "His goal is to play for a playoff contender and he thinks the Panthers will be that with their quarterback (Jake Delhomme) healthy again," agent Kevin Robinson said. "And he really thinks Charlotte is a nice area."

Hackett, who left Washington without a contract, is scheduled to meet with Tampa Bay today, and Carolina on Friday. Hackett would be a huge boost for Carolina, giving the team a legitimate No. 2 receiver opposite Steve Smith.
