NFL lineman, former UGA football player arrested for DUI

Former University of Georgia and current Baltimore Ravens lineman Ben Cleveland has been arrested for driving under the influence.

A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol concentration level was twice the legal limit, officials said.

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office booked Cleveland on Feb. 12.

A deputy reported that he stopped Cleveland’s Ford F-150 upon seeing it being driven erratically and nearly crashing into a ditch.

The football player reportedly failed roadside sobriety tests, and breathalyzer tests indicated blood-alcohol concentrations of .178 and .161 percent.

Cleveland was charged with dui and failure to maintain lane of travel, and released the following day upon posting a $1,000 bond.

Cleveland grew up in Stephens County and played for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2016 until 2020. The Ravens drafted him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
