Ex-Patriots RB Stevan Ridley Arrested In Mississippi
Former New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley -- who helped Tom Brady win a Super Bowl in the 2014 season -- was arrested in Mississippi over the weekend, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
The running back was booked late Saturday night/early Sunday morning on two charges in Natchez, according to a Natchez Police official.
It's not yet clear what the allegations are against Ridley -- but records show he was released from custody on Sunday.
Ridley, who was born in Natchez, was a Patriots third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He played for New England for four seasons -- recording his biggest year in 2012, when he rushed for 1,263 yards and 12 TDs.
He went on to play for the Jets, Falcons and Steelers.
The 34-year-old started at LSU before turning pro, scoring 15 TDs for the Tigers in his final season in Baton Rouge in 2010.
