    Another Bengal arrested, when will it stop.

    Cedric Benson arrested in Texas


    ESPN.com news services
    Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member early Sunday morning in Central Texas.


    Benson

    No other details were available from the Travis County sheriff's office regarding the Class A misdemeanor charge. Benson will be a free agent once a new collective-bargaining agreement is in place.
    Benson's latest legal trouble comes a little more than a year after an arrest involving an alleged bar fight in Texas, which didn't result in a discipline from the NFL.

    Commissioner Roger Goodell said then that he was satisfied Benson understood his responsibilities as an NFL player and a public figure after Benson met with Goodell and other league officials.
    Goodell has stated players will still be subject to review and discipline under the personal-conduct policy for potential violations during the lockout.

    The Chicago Bears, who selected Benson fourth overall in 2005, released him in 2008 after a pair of alcohol-related arrests in Texas. The cases were dropped when grand juries declined to indict.
    The 28-year-old Benson was the focal point of a running game that helped the Bengals win the AFC North title in 2009.

    The Bengals decided to emphasize the passing game last season, a move that backfired as the Bengals stumbled to a 4-12 record. Still, he recorded his second straight 1,000-yard season with 1,111 yards.
    He ran for 1,251 yards in 13 games in 2009, missing three because of a strained hip. He also set a club record by running for 100 yards six times. He also ran for 169 yards in a playoff loss to the Jets, a club record for the postseason.

    Benson was one of those stories where he supposedly turned his life around for the better. After that the Bengals felt that they had this God given talent to turn around players and their lives.

    Eh, wrong.

    You can't even sign with the Bengals unless you agree to be arrested at some points while you're under contract
