Party Like a Cincinnati Bengal

Cedric Benson, a NFL free agent running back, was arrested for the second time in a year in downtown Austin on an assault charge Sunday morning. Benson had a fight with one of his former roommates. Because the person whom Benson fought with was a former roommate the Austin police charged Benson with a misdemeanor assault with bodily harm with family violence. Benson was released on a $10,000 bail.

The former University of Texas player had led the Cincinnati Bengals in rushing for the past three seasons.

This is the second arrest of a Bengals player in a week. “Pac-Man” Jones was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor charge, in Cincinnati after trying to leave a downtown bar.
