Oakland Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson and safety Marques Anderson were arrested early Monday morning by Oakland police for public intoxication, the Oakland police department confirmed to ESPN.

Woodson and Anderson were taken into custody at approximately 4:20 a.m. (local time), when a female driving a car with both men as passengers waved down a police officer, according to the police report. The female told the officer that the two men in the back seat had refused to get out of her car.

The police officer found that Woodson and Anderson "smelled of alcohol with bloodshot eyes" and asked them to step out of the car, according to Danielle Ashford, public information officer for the Oakland PD.

Woodson and Anderson were described as uncooperative and unable to maintain their balance. They were then arrested and charged with public intoxication, Ashford said.

Woodson was released four hours later on his own recognizance. Anderson was released shortly thereafter but was required to pay a $5,000 fine for an outstanding traffic warrant.

Both men will be required to appear in Oakland-Alameda Court but Ashford did not know the date of their appearance.

This article is a lot different from the ESPN article:



OAKLAND - Oakland Raiders' defensive backs Charles Woodson and Marques D. Anderson were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public early Monday after they were driven to police headquarters by three women who said they refused to get out of their car, authorities said.
Anderson was also found to have a $5,000 arrest warrant out of Santa Monica for traffic offenses, authorities said.

After spending the mandatory four hours in custody, Woodson and Anderson were both released from the jail. Authorities said as is routine, the two will not be prosecuted and were allowed to leave the jail when the four hours were up.

Anderson, however, did have to post bail on the warrant, which charges him with speeding and having no proof of insurance. Woodson, 28, an all-Pro corner back and Anderson, 26, the starting strong safety, were arrested at 4:15 a.m. in the 400 block of Sixth Street, which is outside the rear entrance to the city jail.

Police said three women - they would not release their names - drove to the site in a 1998 Mercedes, flagged an officer down and said the two players refused to get out of their car.

It was unclear exactly where the players had met the women, but it was believed to be somewhere in Jack London Square. An officer could smell alcohol on both men and both had trouble maintaining their balance when they finally got out of the Mercedes, police said.

The women then drove off.

Jail commander Lt. Ken Whitman said the two were apologetic. "They said they were sorry. They were both easy going, very, very polite. Neither one of them gave us any problems.

"They didn't act foolish, the didn't swear at anyone, they didn't slur their words. They were more than professional. They didn't whine.''

The two spent their four hours of incarceration sitting side by side in a cell that did not have any other prisoners. Whitman said.

No one asked for their autographs and they were freed by 8:20 a.m.Woodson did not play in Sunday's game against Tennessee, which the Raiders won 40-35. Anderson had one tackle and one assist.

The players could not immediately be reached for comment.

i think its the fact that they werent wanted in her car, so once they got out, they had nowhere to go. thus they were drunk in public.

if you are drunk in a car (as long as you aint driving) its all good then
