Young, who paid a $300 fine after pleading no
contest to a similar charge stemming from an arrest in January
2016, paid a $500 bond later Monday and was released. He was
also ordered to perform 60 hours of community service in his
prior case.
The Houston Chronicle, citing the Fort Bend County Sheriff's
Department, reported that Young failed multiple field sobriety
tests after he was found stopped in his black Cadillac early
Monday morning.
Young led the Texas Longhorns to a national championship and
finished as runner-up to Reggie Bush in the Heisman Trophy
voting in 2005, although Bush gave back the award amid an
investigation over he and his family receiving improper benefits
while he was at Southern California.
In three seasons at Texas, Young passed for 6,040 yards and 44
touchdowns with 28 interceptions and rushed for 3,127 yards and
37 more scores.
Young was drafted third overall by Tennessee and played for the
Titans for five seasons, appearing in 54 games and starting 47.
He ended his career in 2011 in his one season with the
Philadelphia Eagles, playing in six games and starting three.
Young finished with 8,964 yards passing and 46 touchdowns with
51 interceptions. He rushed for 1,459 yards and 12 scores.
