Bengals' Maualuga arrested on DUI charge in Ky.

Published Jan. 29, 2010 5:49 p.m. ET

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga (mow-uh-LOO'-guh) has pleaded not guilty in northern Kentucky to drunken and careless driving.

Covington police spokesman Spike Jones says Maualuga hit a parking meter and two parked cars early Friday with his 2003 Pontiac. There was minor damage.

The 23-year-old was held about seven hours at the Kenton County jail before being released on his own recognizance. Court records show he entered a plea and was ordered to return next month for a hearing.

The Bengals' 2009 second-round draft choice from Southern Cal started the first 15 games of his rookie season before breaking his left ankle.
