BWI Isn't Just a Crappy Airport In Maryland

cedric%20is%20not%20ricky.jpg Cedric Benson, the oft-maligned running back of the Chicago Bears, was arrested last night by the Lower Colorado River Authority (the LAPD of southwest waterways) after being stopped for suspicion of boating while intoxicated. The 25 year-old was hosting between 12 and 15 guests on his 30-foot boat at the time, but he was the only one arrested.

A LCRA spokesperson said that Benson, who failed a sobriety "float test" (an abbreviated version of a field sobriety test) on the boat, argued over taking a follow-up test on land and refused to put on a life jacket. LCRA police attempted to arrest Benson at that time but he refused to cooperate and was pepper sprayed. He was booked at 11:24 p.m. Saturday and later bonded out, the sergeant said.

What, no taser?

Hopefully Cedric can learn from this brush with the law and hold his next booze cruise in international waters. Just watch out for the pirates.
