BROWNS Green faces DUI, pot charges



WESTLAKE (AP) -- Cleveland Browns running back William Green was arrested earlier this week on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana possession, police said Wednesday.
According to a police report, Green was stopped Monday evening after police received a cell phone call from a motorist reporting a possible drunken driver.
An officer also found a bag of marijuana weighing 3.2 grams in Green's sport utility vehicle.
A patrolman observed Green's car weaving and being driven on a flat front tire, according to a police department news release.
Patrolman Casey Carty pulled Green over and gave field sobriety tests to the 23-year-old, who is in his second season with the Browns. Green didn't follow instructions for the tests.
A breath test indicated that Green had a blood alcohol content of .165, the news release said. Ohio's legal blood-alcohol limit is .08.
Green was released on bond Monday night to a female's custody, the news release said.
Green was scheduled to be arraigned this morning at Rocky River Municipal Court.
The Browns did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Green missed Cleveland's game last Sunday in New England with a separated right shoulder. It was a homecoming of sorts for Green, who starred at Boston College before turning pro after his junior season.
While at BC, Green was twice suspended from the team for marijuana use.
The Browns are off this Sunday. Following today's practice, Cleveland's players have four days off and do not have to report back until Monday.
Green was selected in the first round (No. 16 overall) in the 2002 draft.
Following a slow start as a rookie, Green rushed for 887 yards -- 726 in his final seven games -- as the Browns won seven of their final 10 games to earn a playoff spot.
Green leads Cleveland this season with 559 rushing yards on 142 carries.
