Jarrett was pulled over on Interstate 77 in Charlotte for speeding shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spokesman Bob Fey said. Fey said Jarrett declined to take a breath test to determine his blood-alcohol content and results of the ensuing blood test won't be known for several weeks.

Jarrett, now with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL, is due in court Wednesday afternoon. He was also arrested on a DWI charge in 2008. Jarrett, who set a Trojans and Pac-10 record with 41 career touchdown catches while in college, has caught just one touchdown pass in his pro career, meaning in Carolina he has more DWI arrests than TD catches.
