Chicago Bears cornerback Deiondre Hall and Green Bay Packers cornerback Makinton Dorleant -- former college teammates at Northern Iowa -- were arrested Saturday night, according to authorities in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Hall had his legs tasered by police during the incident outside Sharkey's Funhouse as they struggled to get him into the car, per the incident report.

He ignored police instructions and spit in their faces, eventually being cited for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and interference with official acts, according to the Associated Press report.
