Steinbach the fifth Bengal to be arrested this year
Associated Press
NEWPORT, Ky. -- Bengals guard Eric Steinbach was arrested and charged with boating under the influence on the Ohio River, becoming the fifth Cincinnati player in three months accused of breaking the law.
A Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources officer stopped Steinbach because he was violating an idle-only zone Saturday night, agency spokesman Mark Marraccini said.
Steinbach failed a series of field sobriety tests, Marraccini said.
The player was released from the Campbell County jail in Newport after posting bond and was to appear in court Tuesday, jail and court records show.
The Bengals had the day off Sunday, their first free time since they opened training camp in Georgetown, Ky. Steinbach practiced with the team Monday and declined comment about the case.
Steinbach was a first alternate for the Pro Bowl last season, when he started all 16 regular-season games and a playoff loss to Pittsburgh. He was part of a line that allowed only 21 sacks, a club record.

Who do these guys think they are??
The Vikings??
Who was the kickoff return (DB) that had 7 or 8 DUI's? He played in Cincy a few years back ... what a joke!
It's so sad to see players auditioning for the Raiders or Cowboys while still under contract to other teams...
Nonsense.
He was just doing his interpretation of the Ickey Shuffle.
The hot line number should be easy to remember -- (513) 381-JERK.
This is a truly roundabout way of replicating the success of the early '90s Cowboys...
I was thinking "Mean Machine" (from the good version)
That would be a though one to pass.
Um so maybe he couldn't count backwards from 100 three numbers at a time (assuming they even administered the test on the water)?
Hey, they're trying to surpass my Ravens as the division's "most wanted" team, so to speak.
