Running back Ronnie Brown of the Miami Dolphins was arrested in Atlanta  for suspicion of driving under the influence on Friday.

Brown, who has no previous arrest record, was initially pulled over by police for failing to signal during a lane change. He was given a field sobriety test which he did not perform well and he was taken into custody late Friday night for DUI. He was released from jail early Saturday morning.

The Miami Dolphins are aware of the incident, but the team did not have a comment on Sunday. The team will continue to monitor the legal process. Because of his impeccable record as a player and a citizen, they are not believed to be overly upset with Brown.

Brown has hired an attorney and he is very upset over the arrest.

The Dolphins are scheduled to begin their off-season voluntary training program on Monday. Brown’s legal situation will not keep him from attending. Brown, a Pro Bowl running back who made the Wildcat offense popular in 2008, is among the most popular players on the team’s roster.

At 28, Brown is still expected to be the main running back for the Dolphins’ next season, while Ricky Williams and Patrick Cobbs will serve as his backups.

Brown was the Dolphins second overall selection in the 2005 NFL draft and his entire NFL career has been with Miami.
