Cedric Benson is in big trouble.
Benson failed a sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat on Lake Travis near Austin and resisted arrest before being hit with pepper spray, Travis County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Roger Wade said Sunday.
He was released from jail early Sunday on a $14,500 bond. The charges are class B misdemeanors, each punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.
Cedric Benson has decided to fight the charges.
He says he was not intoxicated and the police used excessive force.
Cedric’s version of the story is way different from the police version. He makes it sound like he was all polite and compliant, but didn’t he fail the initial sobriety test?
Police don’t just fire off the pepper spray. Give me a break.
Carney added Benson did nothing “aggressive” until after he was pepper sprayed, when he started screaming for his mother and the boat. He said officers threw his client to the ground and poured water on him to wash away the spray, causing Benson to choke.
“They might as well have been waterboarding him,” Carney said.

Waterboarding him? What? Give me a break.
Yeah, that makes sense, not.
It appears the Chicago Bears may be getting rid of Cedric Benson.
