He apparently elicited signs of being intoxicated during the stop ... as an SPD spokesperson tells TMZ Sports Lacy was ultimately arrested and booked on four separate DUI charges, including "Extreme DUI -- BAC .20 or more."
Lacy was also taken into custody on a charge of "liquor ā possess open container in vehicle," the spokesperson said.
A jail official tells us he was released early Tuesday morning. Further details surrounding his arrest were not made immediately available.
After being picked by the Packers in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft ... Lacy became an immediate star in Green Bay -- rushing for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in his first two seasons.
He went on to struggle to find similar success in his ensuing two years with the Pack, however ... and was ultimately out of the NFL following a 2017 season with the Seahawks.
