self-improvement, appreciates people respecting his privacy as he works to get
healthy, and will address this matter publicly at an appropriate time.”

the Jets – according to the complaint affidavit obtained by the AP. Donahue was
charged on Jan. 2 and pleaded not guilty through his attorney on March 1. His
next court hearing is scheduled for April 3 in Municipal Court in Billings.

The Jets said in a statement that they are aware of Donahue’s decision to enter a rehab facility.
”We respect and support Dylan’s decision to seek treatment

place when he is ready to return.”
In the New Jersey incident, Port Authority police said Donahue’s crash happened around 2 a.m. after an officer saw Donahue drive his car around traffic
cones and enter the Lincoln Tunnel. Donahue soon collided with the bus that had
15 people on board. The Jets player and a passenger were not injured.
Less than 10 months earlier, Donahue drove into a parked pickup truck that was unoccupied at 2:25 a.m. in Billings. Donahue and a passenger suffered minor
injuries after Donahue’s SUV flipped onto its roof. According to the Billings
city attorney, Donahue’s blood alcohol level was at 0.137; the legal limit is
0.08.
