A call about an erratic driver in Montgomery County ended up with the arrest of an NFL player over the weekend.
According to authorities in Montgomery County, they received a 911 call from a driver on Saturday night, who said a man driving a white Ford F-250 was driving recklessly while pulling a trailer with an ATV.
The caller said it was in the area of Highway 242, near the Conroe area. The man was speeding and unable to stay in his own lane in a 45 mph construction zone.
The truck and trailer were eventually stopped and, after failing field sobriety tests, the man was placed in custody for misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Found inside the car was a small caliber pistol, which Texas State law says one cannot be in possession of when engaging in criminal activity. He was also charged with misdemeanor Unlawful carrying of a weapon.
The man was identified as 22 year old Ed Oliver of Houston. Oliver currently plays for the Buffalo Bills, and was a first round pick in the 2019 draft.
No further information was released.
