Ex-Lion DE Ronnell Lewis arrested on DUI suspicion

Former Detroit Lions defensive end Ronnell Lewis has been arrested again. This time, for suspicion of driving under the influence. 

According to FOX 23 in Tulsa, an arrest report shows Lewis, 22, was stopped in Henryetta, Okla. at 1:54 a.m. Monday morning after an officer saw his truck cross over the center line. The arresting officer smelled alcohol and saw a 6-pack with one beer missing inside the truck. 

"Did some standardized field sobriety tests on him. In the officer's opinion he failed those. Subsequently, he was arrested, transported. Had blood drawn and was booked into the county jail for one misdemeanor count of DUI," said Chief Steven Norman. 

FOX 23 received this exclusive statement from Lewis' agent, Kelli Masters, via email:

"This past holiday weekend, Ronnell Lewis was involved in a routine traffic stop that occurred in Okmulgee county. Ronnell cooperated with authorities to the best of his ability while maintaining his innocence. Ronnell has not been charged with anything at this time."

In July, Lewis plead no contest to charges of disturbing the peace and public intoxication stemming from an April bar fight. He was given a six-month deferred sentence. 

Lewis was released by the Lions on Aug. 25.
