BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore Ravens offensive guard Ben Cleveland was arrested recently and charged with drunken driving, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

AP said Cleveland was pulled over near Milledgeville, Georgia, last Wednesday. A Baldwin County sheriff's deputy stated that Cleveland's black pickup truck "entered the opposite lane of travel, nearly going into the ditch," AP reported.

AP said Cleveland agreed to a blood alcohol test and registered 0.178, which is over the legal limit. AP reported that Cleveland told the deputy he had been at a local country club and had consumed about three or four beers, but none in the two hours prior.
