NFL: Ex-player Andre Rison arrested

Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Retired NFL receiver and ex-Michigan State Spartan Andre Rison has been arrested and cited for public intoxication after an early-morning disturbance at a San Antonio hotel.

Police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez said the former five-time Pro Bowl player was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. Monday

The San Antonio Express-News reported on its Web site that police were called to the hotel after Rison and a friend caused a scene at the Crown Plaza Riverwalk.

Police said he paid an $85 fine for the misdemeanor offense and was released.

Rison won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 1997 and played for seven NFL teams. His best year was with Atlanta in 1993, when he had 1,242 yards and 15 touchdowns. He now holds football camps around the country.
