Another Buffalo Bills running back has found himself in trouble with the law, and this time, it's the newest member of their corps. According to KNWA in Arkansas, rookie fifth-round selection Jonathan Williams was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with DWI.
Reportedly, police responded to a call about an intoxicated driver and found Williams. According to the police report, the officer saw that Williams had "red watery eyes and slurred speech," and upon administering field sobriety tests they believed Williams was swaying enough to be intoxicated.
