Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver arrested on drunk-driving charge

Hines Ward, the receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was arrested yesterday on a drunk driving charge. Ward won last season’s Dancing with the Stars title.

Ward put up the $1,300 fine to be released from a prison outside of Atlanta. He was put in jail at 3:41 a.m. and was charged with driving under the influence. Sheriffs could not release any further paperwork on the case.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Ward was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and has two Super Bowl titles.

Ward won Dancing with the Stars in May with professional dancer Kym Johnson. He was the second NFL player to do so. Emmitt Smith won the title in 2006.

According to The Huffington Post, further information on the case was released directly to the courts.
