Report: Chargers safety arrested on drug charges
SAN DIEGO - Chargers strong safety Terrence Kiel was arrested Tuesday for investigation of drug-related offenses, ESPN.com reported.
Kiel was booked and released after posting $150,000 bond, the Web site reported Tuesday night, citing sources it did not name. He was arrested for investigation of possession, possession for sale and transportation of a controlled substance, ESPN.com said.
In a statement, team spokesman Bill Johnston said: ``We're aware of an off-the-field situation involving Terrence Kiel and we're monitoring the situation. Due to the personal nature of the ongoing legal investigation, the Chargers are withholding further comment until the matter is resolved legally.''
Chargers general manager A.J. Smith and coach Marty Schottenheimer did not immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday night. DEA spokesman Dan Simmons didn't return a call placed to his cell phone.
It was the fourth run-in with the law by a Chargers player since April.
Outside linebacker Steve Foley was shot outside his suburban home by an off-duty Coronado police officer on Sept. 3. Foley will miss the entire season and forfeit at least $775,000 in pay.
Foley and linebacker Shaun Phillips were each arrested for scuffling with San Diego police officers a week apart in April. Neither was charged.
