CBS4 has learned Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was cited for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol by Denver police.
He was cited Monday at about 2 a.m. in downtown Denver, police Lt. Ron Saunier said.
Authorities said Marshall was driving a car at 14th and Blake when a police officer pulled him over. It's unclear if he was alone in the car.
He was booked into detox for DUI.
His arrest came hours after the Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-28 in Denver.
Arrest Earlier This YearMarshall had faced domestic abuse charges and false imprisonment charges after an incident with his girlfriend last spring. The charges were dropped after Marshall completed anger management classes.
Marshall was arrested in March after a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend said Marshall had used his vehicle to block her taxi as she tried to leave his home in the Highlands Ranch development south of Denver.
She said they had been arguing.
"I think when a complete investigation was done and all the facts were brought to light, it was clear why Brandon did what he did," Steinberg said. "They (prosecutors) agreed to take a second look and came to this conclusion."
A police report said the woman told investigators that after blocking the taxi, Marshall jumped out his car and ran to the taxi's passenger window, punching it and calling the woman names.
Marshall denied hitting the window and told officers he was trying to get his cell phone back, the report said. He said he'd loaned it to her because her cell phone was being repaired.
The driver of the taxi reversed the car and managed to get around Marshall's vehicle, the report said.
