Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga has been arrested on several charges yet again. The 34-year-old was arrested Wednesday on charges that included criminal mischief, accused of driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
On Friday, TMZ Sports obtained the crash photos that show him hitting a parked car straight into a tree.
Via the report:
“Maualuga was arrested in Villa Hills, Kentucky … after cops say he drunkenly plowed through yards and mailboxes and then slammed into a car in his white Mercedes.
And, in photos of the aftermath of the crash, you can see just how fortunate Maualuga was to have avoided tragedy.
The pics show damaged mailboxes in the neighborhood, tire marks in people’s grass, and a mangled Mercedes that appears to have hit a Hyundai so hard, it wedged it into a neighbor’s tree trunk several yards away.”
A police officer on scene said he believes Maualuga drove into the wrong subdivision where he “lost consciousness due to intoxication” and crashed into multiple things.
Maualuga was drafted by the Bengals in the 2009 NFL Draft and played in Cincinnati through 2016.
