Former NFL lineman Barry Cofield was reportedly arrested on Tuesday in Florida for charges including heroin possession, driving under the influence and eluding a police officer, according to USA Today.
At 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Cofield's car was stopped on an interstate off ramp, according to a police report obtained by USA Today. Cofield was "passed out" in the driver's seat as the traffic light cycled through. After Cofield awoke and police instructed him to put his car in park, he sped off through the light.
Cofield evaded a pursuing officer and swerved between lanes and side-swipped another car in an intersection, according to the police report.
