AMELIA, Ohio -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Deltha O'Neal was charged with driving while intoxicated early Saturday after being stopped at a traffic checkpoint.

The two-time Pro Bowl player had a blood-alcohol level of 0.10, above Ohio's legal limit of 0.08, the State Highway Patrol said. O'Neal was alone in his car and arrested at the scene, Sgt. Kevin Long said. O'Neal took a breath test and was released.

He is to appear in Clermont County Municipal Court on Dec. 12. The seven-year veteran is the eighth Bengals player arrested this year. Rookie receiver Reggie McNeal was charged with resisting arrest this week outside a Houston nightclub.

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said Saturday he was unaware of this latest arrest. The team withholds comment on unresolved charges against players, he said.

The Bengals host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

This is becoming a joke!

He was probably angry because a rookie is going to take his spot.

Bengals players arrested = 8
Cardinals wins in the past 2 seasons = 8

I think they prefer prison stripes over tiger stripes.

I for one am personally against driving while intoxicated. When I go out and drive, I maybe have one beer, depending on how long we will be out. I have done breathalizers while going out on the town just to gage what is or isn't acceptable. .10 vs .08 is imperceptible in a field sobriety test. One beer for one person is a BAC of .11, while one beer to another is .07. This making headlines is ridiculous. It almost seems trendy to put any Bengal in this situation on public trial.

P.S. Just to keep the record straight. I am from Cincinnati...I hate the Bengals...I love the Cardinals (my whole life)...this just seems to be a pathetic journalistic squeeze to me.
