Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on Feb. 12, according to an incident report from the Baldwin County (Ga.) Sheriff's Office.

Cleveland was pulled over in Milledgeville, Ga., around 10:25 p.m. ET on Feb. 12 after being observed weaving between lanes and swerving on the road, per the report.

The report stated the arresting officer noticed the smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle and that Cleveland's eyes appeared to be glossy. After conducting a field sobriety test and registering a .178 blood alcohol content -- more than double the legal limit -- on a Breathalyzer, Cleveland was taken to a nearby jail.

He was given two citations, one for DUI-alcohol and one for failure to maintain lane, and later released after being bonded out.

Cleveland was a third-round pick out of Georgia in 2021 and has started seven games in four years with the Ravens. Cleveland played in all 17 games in the 2024 season with zero starts.
