Cleveland Browns Football Player Nabbed for Ohio DUI

Gerard Lawson, defensive back for the Cleveland Browns, was involved in a late night hit and run accident early Sunday morning that resulted in his arrest for driving under the influence in Ohio. Laswon reportedly skipped a team curfew to go party in Cleveland's Warehouse District. He struck a parked car and elected to drive away. He was stopped shortly after by Cuyahoga County sheriff's deputies, who handed him over to Cleveland police.

The Browns' organization said they are "continuing to gather information" on the Ohio DUI arrest and refused to make further comments.

Lawson played five games last season and has recently been utilized more on special teams than as defensive back. He was on the losing side of an inter-team Brown & White scrimmage Saturday and thus listed for 11pm curfew. Lawson, 25, is considered to be on the roster bubble and his arrest for DUI in Cleveland OH could impact his chances of joining the team.
