ATHENS, Ga. — New York Giants backup running back Danny Ware has been arrested and charged with an alcohol offense while walking in the road.

The 23-year-old former Georgia player was booked at the Clarke County Jail early Sunday and released four hours later on $500 bond.

Police say Ware and a woman were standing in the street talking and traffic had to steer around them. The police report said Ware acknowledged he was drinking and his breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.152. He was charged with pedestrian under the influence and pedestrian walking in the road.

Ware is in his second season with the Giants. The Giants had a bye last weekend.
