NFL running back Garrett Wolfe was arrested Sunday on several charges including assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest with violence, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Wolfe, who will become an unrestricted free agent when the NFL lockout comes to an end, was also charged with retail theft and disorderly conduct, according to Miami-Dade County Police Department records. His bond was set at $11,500.

Wolfe, 26, was a star at Northern Illinois. He spent the last four seasons with Chicago, playing mostly special teams.

The Bears selected the Chicago-area native in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

Wolfe recently spoke with the Sun-Times regarding his concern about the potential negative impact the ongoing lockout may have on his career.

"I'm one of those guys caught in limbo," Wolfe told the Sun-Times last week. "I've finished my fourth year. Technically, I'm a free agent but with no [collective bargaining agreement], and under the terms from last year, I'm not a free agent, so I'm caught in between."
