Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was arrested on a drunk driving charge outside Atlanta early Saturday morning.
The former Super Bowl MVP and reigning “Dancing With the Stars” champion was booked into the DeKalb County jail just before 4 a.m. and charged with driving under the influence. He was released on bond a few hours later.
Few other details have been released. The sheriff’s office said it had turned its paperwork over to the courts.
Ward’s attorney, Andrew Ree, said the 35 year old cooperated fully with police. “From our preliminary investigation we can tell you that we are confident that the facts will show that Hines was NOT impaired by alcohol while driving,” Ree said. He added that Ward is deeply saddened and apologizes to his fans and the Steelers for the distraction.
Ward has built one of the cleanest reputations in the league, so this one caught a lot of people off guard. We’ll see what the facts show.
