It’s a fairly quick process to get out of jail after most DUI arrests. This is especially true for someone with the means of a professional football player.
Sources tell PFT, however, that Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga had problems getting out of the hoosegow Friday morning before his arraignment. The Cincinnati Enquirer has confirmed the linebacker has been released after appearing in a Kenton County District Court Friday. Maualuga was arrested at 1:45 A.M.
There are a few reasons someone could be held in jail longer than usual. One is that the law enforcement officials were waiting for the person arrested to sober up.
Maualuga had a blood-alcohol level of .157, according to a Covington Police report. The legal limit is .08.
