The pro footballer player, 35, was booked on a DUI charge at the DeKalb County jail near Atlanta at 3:41 am today and later released on $1000 bail.

"Hines is deeply saddened by this incident and apologizes to his fans and the Steelers organization for this distraction," his agent/manager Andrew Ree says in a statement.

However, Ree claims the Hines wasn't intoxicated at the time of the arrest: "From our preliminary investigation we can tell you that we are confident that the facts will show that Hines was NOT impaired by alcohol while driving."
