Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden was arrested this week and is facing a DUI charge following police taking him into custody on Tuesday.
According to 8 News Now, the former Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Tuesday morning before being released. He wasn’t made to appear in court and, as of Wednesday, had no arraignment scheduled.
Snowden was arrested on Rainbow Boulevard near Sunset Road in the southwest valley after police were called about a “suspicious vehicle.”
“Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden III faces a DUI charge following his arrest Tuesday, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned,” the outlet reported late Wednesday night.
“Officers booked Snowden, 27, into the Clark County Detention Center early Tuesday morning and released him, records said. Snowden was not required to appear in court after his arrest and had no arraignment scheduled as of Wednesday.”
The 26-year-old played for the Raiders against his former team on Sunday, with the former suffering a 13-28 result, registering an 11th loss. The team did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Charles Snowden Did Not Post Bond
According to police records, Charles Snowden was not required to post bond and did not go through a probable cause hearing before he was released.
A mugshot, if there is one, is not available as Las Vegas Metro police stopped releasing booking photos to the public earlier this year following a circuit court ruling.
No attorney was listed for the player either, though a hearing for a status check is scheduled for April.
A charge of DUI of alcohol and/or controlled substances is a misdemeanor in Vegas if it’s a first offense.
