New England Patriots defensive back Alfonzo Dennard, 24, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Thursday in Lincoln, Neb. according to the Omaha World Herald.

Lincoln police Capt. Jason Stille told the World Herald that officers spotted a westbound Honda straddling the lane line on Normal Blvd. in Lincoln between 50th and 56th Streets about 2 a.m. local time.

According to the report, Dennard was alone in the vehicle and refused a chemical test.

The former Nebraska Cornhusker is no stranger to run-ins with Lincoln police. In 2012 Dennard punched an officer investigating a fight outside a downtown Lincoln bar and was later convicted of one count of assaulting an officer. He was sentenced in March to 30 days in jail, two years of probation and 100 hours of law enforcement-related community service.
