Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby was arrested early this morning on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle.

Authorities say the incident occurred around 3:00 AM local time when police received reports of a car idling in a lane on a major roadway. Officers arrived at the scene to find Crosby unresponsive in the driver’s seat, with the engine still running. After attempting to rouse the 26-year-old athlete, police determined that Crosby appeared intoxicated and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Crosby was transported to a nearby police station for processing. No injuries were reported, and there were no other individuals involved in the incident. Police have not yet released details on Crosby’s blood alcohol content (BAC) level, but DUI charges typically carry serious legal consequences in Nevada.

In a brief statement released by the Raiders, the team said, “We are aware of the situation involving Maxx Crosby and are gathering more information. The team takes this matter seriously and will address it in accordance with league policies.”

Crosby, a two-time Pro Bowler, has been a standout player for the Raiders since being draughted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He is widely regarded as one of the league’s premier pass rushers and has been a key part of the Raiders’ defense. This arrest comes just weeks after Crosby’s standout performance in a crucial win for the team.

The NFL’s personal conduct policy will likely come into play as the league reviews the situation. Depending on the findings, Crosby could face fines, suspension, or other disciplinary actions.

Crosby is expected to appear in court at a later date. Legal representatives for Crosby have yet to comment on the matter.
