Cedric Benson Not Indicted on Texas DWI Charges

Grand Jury declined to indict former Chicago Bears player for two offenses of DWI in Austin.

Citing no probable cause, a Travis County Grand Jury elected not to indict Cedric Benson on two alcohol related charges in Austin. Benson’s DWI defense attorney said the former football player is ‘elated’.

Benson was charged with boating while intoxicated on May 3 while on Lake Travis, west of Austin. During that incident he was also charged with resisting arrest. Then on June 7 Benson was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Austin.

Benson played for the University of Texas Longhorns and then the NFL Chicago Bears. After the second Texas DWI offense he was cut from the Bears. Benson, through his attorney, said he has learned from the ordeal and wishes to be a worthy role model for young people in the community. He also hopes to play professional football again.

Have you been arrested for DWI in Austin, Texas?
