LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Former Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says.

Police say a driver, later identified as Lynch, was stopped downtown near Las Vegas Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue at 7:25 a.m.

Officers said, through the course of the investigation, it was determined that Lynch was impaired and he was taken into custody.

Lynch was transported to the Las Vegas City Jail and booked for driving under the influence. He is due in court on Dec. 7.

This comes after Lynch recently announced he would serve as a "special correspondent" for the Seattle Seahawks.
