Cedric Benson boats while intoxicated

At least that’s one of the charges. The other is resisting arrest and apparently he got pepper sprayed.
Benson has not remotely been worth the #4 overall pick, which the Bears used on him back in 2005. He averaged 3.4 yards per carry before getting hurt last year. This arrest just adds to his already high value.
“Anytime we’re talking about one of our players getting arrested, you’re disappointed,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said.
He should have added, “and when it’s a guy that is already a huge disappointment, it’s that much worse.”
