Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson was arrested for operating a boat while intoxicated on Saturday. According to reports, Cedric Benson failed the sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat, then resisted arrest and had to be pepper-sprayed and dragged by the officers ashore. The incident happened on Lake Travis (Texas) Saturday night, when his boat with 15 other passengers was stopped by a Lower Colorado River Authority officer for a random safety inspection. "When Benson did not pass the test, he presented himself as a threat to the officer and argued about whether or not he would be taken to land to have a follow-up field sobriety test performed on land and refused to put on a life jacket," was the statement made by the local authorities. The charges are class B misdemeanors, each punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine, Cedric Benson was released from jail on Sunday on a $14,500 bond.

This is not the first time the Chicago Bears running back gets in trouble. In 2002, misdemeanor drug and alcohol charges against him were dropped.
