Report: OL Steinbach latest Bengal to run into trouble

August 8, 2006

CINCINNATI (Ticker) - Judas Priest once made a song entitled "Breaking The Law." The Cincinnati Bengals have become quite familiar with that tune.

WCPO.com reported Monday that Bengals offensive lineman Eric Steinbach was arrested over the weekend.

According to the report, Steinbach was charged with operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol and that he ignored a "No Wake Zone" area.

The report also said Steinbach failed four out of five field sobriety tests. He will be arraigned Tuesday morning in Campbell County court.

A left guard, Steinbach started all 16 games last season and was a first alternate to the Pro Bowl.

Steinbach is the fifth Cincinnati player to be charged with breaking the law since the end of last season.

Wide receiver Chris Henry has been arrested four times since December. He is set to stand trial later this month on a gun charge in Orlando, Florida.

Draft picks Frostee Rucker and A.J. Nicholson had been arrested before signing - Rucker for spousal battery and Nicholson for burglary and grand theft.

Matthias Askew was charged with resisting arrest last month. Police had to use a stun gun to subdue the 6-5, 302-pound defensive tackle.

Middle linebacker Odell Thurman, a second-round pick last season, also is suspended for the first four regular-season games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
