49ers DE McDonald arrested

Feb 8, 2012

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald was arrested early Wednesday morning due to an outstanding warrant from 2010 on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The San Jose Mercury News reported that the warrant was issued in August because of a failure to provide completion of a first-offender program following the first arrest.

McDonald was pulled over by Sunnyvale police, who learned of the outstanding arrest warrant. He was arrested and released shortly after 7 a.m.

The 27-year-old McDonald just completed his fifth season with San Francisco, registering a career-high 5.5 sacks. He added 2.5 sacks in the NFC title game against the New York Giants.
