Police accused the erstwhile pro running back of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

“According to the Scottsdale Police Department, the ex-Green Bay Packers tailback was pulled over at around 10:40 PM — after officers said they saw him committing several traffic violations,” TMZ reports.

“He apparently elicited signs of being intoxicated during the stop … as an SPD spokesperson tells TMZ Sports Lacy was ultimately arrested and booked on four separate DUI charges, including “Extreme DUI — BAC .20 or more.”

Lacy’s mugshot has also been released since his arrest.

 

A spokesperson noted that Lacy was also arrested on a charge of “liquor – possess open container in vehicle.” An officer told the outlet the former Green Bay Packers star was released early on Tuesday morning.

“Further details surrounding his arrest were not made immediately available,” TMZ added.

Eddie Lacy’s NFL Career Didn’t Quite Go According To Plan

Eddie Lacy was a second-round pick by the Packers in 2013 and wasted little time establishing himself as a formidable weapon on offense, clocking over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in his first two seasons to earn Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro Honors as a rookie.

He was also named the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013.

Unfortunately, Lacy wasn’t as effective in the two years that followed and was out of the NFL by the time his stint with the Seattle Seahawks ended in 2017.
