8:47 am PT – TMZ Sports got the police report … in which police say Johnny Damon’s blood alcohol level was 0.30, almost FOUR TIMES the legal limit.
Police officers also say that Damon’s wife was in the car at the time of the arrest – and describe her as completely out of control.
In fact, the police say Michelle Mangan-Damon it was uncooperative, combative – and at one point, she pushed a police officer.
While Johnny was charged by DUI, Michelle was arrested for assaulting a police officer and for resisting arrest with violence.
In the police report, officers say Damon was stopped at around 1:23 am, after officers watched his SUV turn onto the road.
During the stop, the police said that Damon was slapping and staggering – and finally admitted to drinking alcohol earlier in the evening.
In fact, when asked if he had consumed alcohol, the police say that Damon replied “just a little” while “making a pinch movement with his left hand and fingers”.
Before Johnny and Michelle were taken to the police station, the officers say that Michelle told the officer who arrested him that she had a nanny at home with her six children. Then, the policeman called the nanny and told her that Johnny and Michelle “were going to jail and would not be back any longer.”
While at the police station, officers said Johnny agreed to take the breathalyzer test, but noted that his wife advised him not to. Ultimately, police say Johnny gave two valid breath samples, .30 and .294.
The cops asked Johnny where he was partying before the incident … to which they say he replied, “London House”, which Johnny described as “he’s a guy who had a lot of money … we’re just having fun there.”
