Portland's Ridgewell, Gleeson arrested on DUII charges

Portland Timbers captain Liam Ridgewell and first-choice goalkeeper Jake Gleeson were booked in Clackamas County jail late Monday night on DUII charges.

Both players paid $7,500 bail for their respective charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, according to The Telegraph's Bob Williams, and will face court proceedings on Nov. 16.

Their misbehavior further mars a torrid MLS campaign for Portland where it failed to make the playoffs and didn't win on the road once. The Timbers are the current holder of the MLS Cup.

The club released the following statement on the incident:

"The team is aware of the events that occurred last evening involving players Jake Gleeson and Liam Ridgewell and is in the process of gathering information on the matter. The team has been in close contact with the players, local law enforcement and the league office. The club will not have further comment until more information is available."

The Philadelphia Union's C.J. Sapong was found not guilty of a similar charge in April after being arrested in May 2015, but had to undergo a three-week substance-abuse program before returning to MLS contention.
