Getty ImagesOn Friday, Lions cornerback Aaron Berry resolved a DUI arrest by striking a deal to enter a diversion program.
On Saturday morning, Berry may have violated the terms of the program before even being accepted into it.
A tipster passed along to PFT on Saturday a detailed account of an incident that has since shown up on a Dolphins message board. As the tip/rumor goes, Berry was arrested in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania after a group claimed he pointed a gun at them from inside a car.
The Dauphin County, Pennsylvania prison list currently doesn’t show Berry as being incarcerated, but the site explains that the information may be outdated, especially on weekends.
Most importantly, a league source tells PFT that initial review of the situation indicates that there may be “some fire” to what otherwise appears to be smoke.
None of this is confirmed. But it appears for now that something may have happened.
UPDATE: Berry’s arrest has been confirmed. The Lions say they’re “extremely disappointed.”

At this point, as a big Lions fan for 20 years, id just as soon start booting these turds. We finally have a good thing going and these guys can’t think with their heads. Immature, selfish, me me me players need to gooooooooo byebye. Fairley, Leshoure, even Suh should be put on notice. Doesnt matter.
Berry is awful anyways just cut him already
There seems to be more NFL players getting DUI, weapons charges, moma beating, this year than in the past years. Is this caused be head injuries? Because I can tell you all this is giving me a head ache.
Dang. We had actually gone 10 seconds without an NFL player getting into trouble. We were going for some sort of record.
Elvis Dumerville is appalled.
I wonder how macho these gun flashing turds feel after Aurora, Colorado? One thing for certain, the judicial system will give them NO sympathy.
Cool, an actual rumor on the rumormill. Don’t see that very often.
Sure seems to be an awful lot one *can’t* say on this comment board anymore.
i have never heard of Aaron berry before in my life.
Going to have to change the “Days without arrest” to hours.
“Aaron, no, don’t point the gun! I think it’s the presidential limousine!………………………………….Oh crap…..Aaron……”.
I prefer to think the worst.
…and said “damn, that’s a real bounty program”.
Kill the head and the body will die.
Long off-season this year.
say what you want, but too much time on their hands, most of these guys are mental giants, plies of money and stupid doesnt generally work out well. its the truth like it or not
The Lions are going to have to charter out a separate plane & hotel on road games for all their probation officers!!
ohhhh not good if true
proves no amount of money can buy common sense
What a loser.
THE GREAT DETROIT LIONS
@tylerncom
You are right it got to stop the team can only cut them they have little control with the agreement the comish have to step in.
They are going to have to step it up to a year on the third time they get put in jail.
Fantasy incarceration league is needed.
What the hell?
Harrisburg, PA is about 50,000 people, built around the river, your going to hit every light, there is no parking, and no one cares because happy hour is always looked forward to.
I have spent a lot of time in Harrisburg and have traveled through there twice this month. If Aaron Berry was in a situation where he had to pull or show a hand gun….
Just sad. Just pathetic and sad.
So no DUI?
Big deal! We only care about DUI’s and Mom-beatings ’round here.

It may be easier to track if you post the names of the players not arrested each day. Just a thought.
should rename it to “Days without Berry being arrested.” Let’s just let the due process..blah blah blah. Tigers are in first!
If this is true you HAVE to cut the guy and give the rookies some playing time. Messing up once is alright, being a dumbass twice means you’re cut.
Guess you nay have to reset that “Days Without an Arrest” counter again.
I wish the lions would just cut him..we”ll be fine at cb..heck at least set an example.
Ladies and gentlemen allow me to present to you, the new Cincinnati Bengals!
Ahhhhhhh hahahahahaha
As a die hard Lions fan, I thought he should have been released after the DUI. If this turns out to be true, I don’t think the Lions have any choice but to release him. This clown does not deserve to have a career playing in the NFL, period.
I think the problem with the rash of incidents lately is that since Goodell is just gonna throw out suspensions based on extremely week evidence, then they are at least gonna get their money’s worth.
Can we make a pie chart showing how many arrests in the last 10 years! Give me a chart! Expose this Story!
I heard that during the fire fight his homie asked him to cover him and Berry sat idelly by as his buddy ran a skinny post right by him for 6
The only head injury this dude has is a low IQ.
Yikes, I guess this should be expected when Suh is the one saying everyone needs to be held to a “higher standard”.
Maybe they can all do their time in Detroit and get work release on Sundays.
Every neck tattoo should just be the words “I’m a f*ck up”. See ya in the CFL, Aaron!
Lions fan here and if its true, then yes, please cut him. We deserve better than this.
On ESPN the other day they talked about how players have a lot more money and a lot more time off since the new CBA.
When they had 2 a days and where alowed to hi teach other players went home and slept
I agree with ESPN. Players need to be studying play books at night because they are to tired to watch tv not going out drinking.
Oh Captain!
An even BIGGER record is we’ve gone this long without a 49ers, Bears, or Packers fan shouting their mouth off about this.
Crap. I have to agree with tylerncom. As much as it pains me to say it, if he did this, he needs to be cut. Immediately.
Damn idiot.
Not even someone from Harisburg can be this stupid.

It’s actually embarrassing being an NFL fan today.
This stuff reminds me of the death notices in the newspaper, it’s in their everyday, unbelievable!
Just another example of an athlete letting the money and fame get to their heads. They seem to think that because their professionals that they have the right to do anything they please, without the fear of reprisal.

Easier to list players not arrested.
Lions are the Noah’s ark of Football trouble. All Arrest comes in two’s.(Fairly twice,Leshoure twice, now Berry)
If he were arrested he would be in jail not prison. Jail is where you go when you get arrested and charged with a crime. Prison is where you go when convicted and sentenced.
