The Baltimore Ravens players and personnel can’t seem to stay out of trouble these days and now another running back has been arrested.
WJZ reported that Bernard Pierce was pulled over Wednesday morning in Towson, Maryland and taken into custody on charges of driving under the influence.
“The officer suspected that the driver been drinking so he had the driver exit the vehicle for field sobriety tests. After failing field sobriety tests, the driver was arrested and taken to the Towson precinct for processing,” police said in a statement.
ESPN noted that Pierce is the fourth member of Ravens’ organization to have been arrested since former running back Ray Rice.
Darren Sanders, who is the team's director of security, has a trial date set for May where he is expected to plead not guilty to assault and sex offense charges. In addition, nose tackle Terrence Cody was indicted on animal cruelty charges and cornerback Victor Hampton was arrested on drunk driving charges.
Both Cody and Hampton were later released. Pierce could suffer that same fate as he is ranked fourth on Baltimore’s running back depth chart behind Justin Forsett, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Fitzgerald Toussaint.
The Ravens tweeted that team was aware of the arrest.
