Stop me if you have heard this before: Cedric Benson was arrested for an alcohol-related offense.
Benson, who starred at Texas before enjoying a 7-year career in the NFL, was arrested Saturday night after arguing with a woman inside a taxi cab in Austin, according to a report.
Austin police records say there was a “verbal disturbance between a male and a female in a cab,” leading to Benson’s arrest.
Benson was booked into Travis County jail at 5:22 a.m. Saturday morning.
Benson was arrested for drunken driving in 2008, not long after he was arrested for boating while intoxicated, also in Texas. He was arrested in 2010 for allegedly punching a bartender in the face. In 2011, Benson turned himself in to serve 20 days in jail for beating up a family member.
Benson has not played in the NFL since 2012 and was recently attempting a comeback.
