Earlier today, Superbowl MVP and Dancing with the Stars winner Hines Ward was arrested in DeKalb county, Georgia for DUI. The Pitsburg Steelers player was booked into the jail at 3:41 a.m. and was held on $1,000 bond, but posted bail shortly after and was released around 6:00 AM.
According to the AJC, the arrest wasn’t Ward’s first serious traffic charge in DeKalb. Back in 2006, he was charged with reckless driving and speeding. Ward also recently admitted to having a bad habit of texting and driving on his Facebook page, and reached out to his fans for help: “How many of you guys and gals text while driving? I am bad at doing that. It’s very unsafe. Help remind me from time to time to stop texting, tweeting, or facebook while driving. Let’s help each other!”
While we are glad no one was hurt, we wish the superstar who danced his way into many of our hearts would keep his eyes on the road.
