Free-agent DT Wilkerson arrested on DUI charge

Former New York Jets and Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Muhammad Wilkerson was arrested early Saturday for driving under the influence in Manhattan, police told multiple New York-area media outlets.

Wilkerson, 29, is currently a free agent after finishing last season on the Packers' injured reserve following a broken ankle he suffered in Week 3.

According to WABC-TV, police said Wilkerson bypassed a stop sign in the Washington Heights neighborhood at 3:30 a.m. ET. The station reported that when police pulled him over, they noticed Wilkerson's eyes were bloodshot and that they smelled alcohol.
