AUSTIN, Texas -- Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault related to a May 30 incident.
An Austin police spokeswoman says Benson was arrested on Tuesday and booked into the Travis County jail where he later posted bail and was released. She could not immediately provide more details on the incident.
The Austin-American Statesman reported that Benson allegedly punched an employee of a downtown bar.
The arrest is just the latest brush with the law for Benson.
In 2008, he was arrested twice in a month on alcohol charges. While in college at the University of Texas, he pleaded no contest to a charge of criminal trespassing for forcing his way into an apartment to find a television he said was stolen from him.
