CLEVELAND – Former Cleveland Browns QB Bernie Kosar was busted for suspicion of driving under the influence through the suburbs of Cleveland.

Police in Solon, Ohio say the former NFL quarterback was cuffed and brought in after being pulled over for speeding at 2:45 a.m. one recent morning.

That’s when the officers smelled a strong odor of alcohol and gave Kosar sobriety tests that he must have failed. Kosar was thrown behind bars, booked and later let loose after whatever his beverage of the night was had worn off.

The 49-year-old Kosar has been outspoken about the head injuries he sustained during his NFL career having affected his speech, making him slur his words.

Other media sources like ESPN have reported that Kosar has been addicted to pain medications, has gone through a divorce and had financial troubles; hardly the type of life you’d expect a successful NFL quarterback to have after leaving the field.
