Harris, 33, who played most his career for the San Francisco
49ers, was asleep in an Audi sedan parked in a driveway with the
engine running when officers investigating a nearby hit-and-run
found him on Sunday, said San Francisco police spokeswoman Grace
Gatpandan.
When he woke up, he appeared to be in an altered mental state
and he tried to bite one of the officers, Gatpandan said, adding
that the officers arrested Harris without suffering any injury.
Harris was later found to have struck a recreational vehicle
with his car in the hit-and-run collision close to where he was
arrested, and he was also linked to another hit-and-run in a
different part of the city, Gatpandan said. No one was injured
in those collisions.
Harris was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault,
resisting arrest, driving under the influence of a drug and
hit-and-run, Gatpandan said.
He was released from jail on $146,000 bail on Monday, said a
spokeswoman for the San Francisco County Sheriff's Department.
It was not immediately clear if Harris has obtained an attorney
and he could not be reached for comment.
Gatpandan said investigators are still working to determine what
drug Harris might have been using before his arrest.
Harris, an offensive tackle, played from 2003 to 2007 for the
San Francisco 49ers and he played his final season in 2008 with
the Oakland Raiders.
