Cedric Benson arrested
Running back Cedric Benson was released from jail on Sunday following an arrest on an assault charge, the second year in a row he has gotten into trouble in his home state.
He was the second Bengals player arrested in the last week. Cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested last weekend in Cincinnati on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and resisting arrest. Court documents said Jones shouted profanities in a downtown bar and tried to pull away as officers arrested him. Jones has denied the allegations.
Travis County sheriff’s spokesman Roger Wade said Benson posted a $10,000 bond and was released just before 2 p.m.
Benson was Chicago’s first-round pick out of the University of Texas in 2005. He had two alcohol-related arrests with the Bears, who let him go in 2008. He signed as a free agent with the Bengals and led them in rushing yardage each of the last three years — 747 yards in 2008, 1,251 yards in 2009 and 1,111 yards in 2010.
