BATAVIA, Ohio -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall received permission to drive to practice while his drunken driving case is heard.

A Clermont County Municipal Court judge continued his case until May 11 and gave the former first-round pick permission on Monday to drive to team events and doctors appointments.

Hall was arrested on April 5 after a state trooper reportedly saw his car cross the center line. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Hall had a blood-alcohol content of 0.149. The state's legal limit is 0.08.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
