Ronnie Brown, Miami Dolphins running back, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol late Friday night.
Brown, failed to signal while making a lane change and was pulled over by officers in Atlanta.  He was booked and released from jail early Saturday morning.  Brown has no criminal record. 

Sources said, Brown is distraught over the arrest and has hired and attorney to help defend him in the case.  Brown was arrested because he did not perform well during the field-sobriety test.  The charges could possibly be reduced to a traffic violation in the coming days. The arresting officer’s detailed version of the arrest has not yet been obtained because it occurred during the weekend.

Todd France, Brown’s agent, did not return messages Sunday to comment on the arrest.

The Dolphins also had no comment, but reportedly are not overly concerned given Brown’s reputation as a model citizen.

Brown is currently rehabbing from a November foot surgery and has spent his entire playing career with the Dolphins.  He was selected by Miami as the second overall pick in the 2005 NFL season and was a college star at Auburn.
