    CINCINNATI -- Police in northern Kentucky have arrested Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga on charges of drunken and careless driving.

    Covington police spokesman Spike Jones says Maualuga hit a parking meter and two parked cars early Friday with his 2003 Pontiac. There was minor damage.

    The 23-year-old is being held without bond at Kenton County jail, and no attorney is listed for him.

    The Bengals' 2009 second-round draft choice from Southern Cal started the first 15 games of his rookie season before breaking his left ankle.

    Team spokesman Jack Brennan says he won't comment until the case is resolved.

    Why was he driving a 2003 Pontiac???

  • Cincinnati Bengals LB Rey Maualuga Popped for DUI

    Uh, oh... The Cincinnati Bengals have legal issues again. After a jail free 2009 season, Rey Maualuga broke the streak when he was busted for drunken driving after playing dodge-ems (actually probably should be called hit 'ems) after a night of wild partying in Covington, Kentucky last night. The 23-year-old totaled his vehicle and smashed into parked cars and a parking meter in the crash.

    In Maualuga's 2009 Pontiac were two young females, one 18 and the other a juvenile. Many pundits questioned why the Cleveland Browns didn't draft the standout linebacker from USC, but the organization said they stayed away because of off the field issues. It looks like Eric Mangini got one right for a change.

    peterbell say:

    Gee.Ya think Eric got it right..Can you be any more of a moron then this guy..Drunk, reckless driving, 2 teenage girls in the car..one underage..Character counts..always has,,always will. This guy is looking at possible jail time and at least 4 game suspension..people have chided Eric for always picking "choir boys" so to speak, but he had character issues going into the draft..You are what you are..people rarely change. you want your kid walking around with rey reys jersey on?

  • Here's the old thread where we discussed Rey's character issues:

    Rey Maualuga

    As you can see, a lot of Rey's issues were well-documented before the draft. And according to Brent "SOBO" Sobleski, Rey reeked of booze on the flight down to the 2009 Senior Bowl.

    I'm glad we passed on him.

  • per espn: maualuga plead guilty, had a 7 day jail sentence suspended and was placed on 2 years probation.

    It sounds like he was driving one of them Cini-tucky girl's cars. I'm with you though, why not call a cab or a limo if you wanna profile? In my youth, I would spend the night in the backseat parked in the lot rather than drive drunk. These guys kids are just stupid. And its not just "easy for me to say" because I'm not in that world, the only thing I have at stake if caught drunk driving is some embarresment. If you have millions at stake, WTF?!

    PS. HOW IN THE HELL DOES MARVIN LEWIS HAVE A JOB?!?!?!?

    LMAO! Great comment. We need more humor and less name calling on this board. πŸ˜†

  • I am shocked to hear that another bungle has run into trouble with the law. This almost leaves me speechless what with a resurrgent season a renewed focus, the coach of the year and on and on. Almost as good as chad 85 showing up for the one and done post season in his new truck with his nfl shop name on the side panel in case he forgets where he parked it, that took him 6 months to build. Where is Pete Carroll when you need him? The best part of this whole story is the fact that with his 2nd round salary and bonus money from the typically penny pinching Mike Brown, this clown could ony afford a 2003 pontiac.i first started my bag collection with a coach purses
