Ex-NFL star running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday after cops claim he was driving under the influence.

Las Vegas officers said 36-year-old Lynch was pulled over on Fairfield Avenue and West Utah Avenue around 7:25 a.m. Tuesday. Sources told TMZ he was driving into curbs on the side of the road before the traffic stop.

Marshawn Lynch, Macklemore join with Seattle Kraken as part-owners

After speaking with Lynch, cops believed he was driving under the influence, and was taken to jail.

Lynch did not submit to a breathalyzer, but he had his blood drawn.

Lynch — who played for the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, and Oakland Raiders during his career — is a five-time Pro Bowler, a two-time NFL rushing touchdown leader, and a Super Bowl Champion.

Seattle announced in a press release earlier today that Lynch will re-join the team this season as a special correspondent to help produce “creative content for a variety of projects.”
