Tickets at Ticket Master
A drunken driving charge against Miami Heat forward Samaki Walker has been dismissed.
Walker was charged with drunken driving after an accident near Columbus, Ohio, in July. In the accident, Walker's vehicle rolled over, partially ejecting him.
The drunken driving and failure to wear seat belt charges against Walker were dropped, according to a posting on the Licking County Municipal Court Web site.

The decision to drop the drunken driving charge came after authorities couldn't
prove that Walker had been operating the vehicle within two hours of taking
a blood alcohol test, Chris Rolland, a Newark ticketmaster assistant law director,
told the Newark Advocate for Saturday's editions.
Walker has pleaded no contest to the charge of failure to control the vehicle, which carries a maximum penalty of a ticketmaster $100 fine.
Walker, who signed with the Heat last month after spending the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, could not be reached for comment.
