PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Tim McKyer has been arrested on several hit-and-run charges in Florida, according to Fox News. McKyer, 60, was arrested Monday in Palm Beach County, Florida, and charged with five counts of leaving the scene of a crash, Fox News reported. He was accused of crashing into five parked cars inside a parking garage of a housing complex in Riviera Beach, Florida. The police report claims there is security footage of McKyer hitting the vehicles and then leaving the scene on foot.
The arresting officer said when he interviewed McKyer, his breath smelled of alcohol and that McKyer was “not aware of an accident that occurred.” There were no DUI charges. McKyer’s court date is set for March 4. A third-round pick in the 1984 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, McKyer was a journeyman throughout the NFL. Spending one season with the Steelers, the veteran defensive back played all 16 games, including two starts as Pittsburgh made their way to the AFC Championship game. The three-time Super Bowl winner – twice with the 49ers and once with the Denver Broncos – also spent time with the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and MiamDolphins.
