Alfonzo Dennard of Patriots arrested for DUI, police say
Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was arrested and cited or driving under the influence, then released, Lincoln (Neb.) Police Department spokeswoman Katie Flood told NFL.com and NFL Network on Thursday morning.

Dennard also was cited for refusal of a chemical test and straddling lane lines, Flood said. Dennard has a court date scheduled for Aug. 12, and Flood added that the Lincoln City Attorney's Office will determine what charges Dennard will face, if any.
This isn't Dennard's first run-in with the law. In April, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 24 months of probation after he was found guilty of felony assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. The judge in that case said she would permit Dennard to wait until March 1, 2014, to serve his sentence. It's unclear if this incident will alter that decision, but either way, Dennard faces the possibility of punishment from the NFL.
A seventh-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2012, Dennard slid down draft boards because of the April 2012 incident.
