728731_display_image

Former NFL receiver Jermaine Lewis, who returned a kickoff for a touchdown in Super Bowl XXXV, has been charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest.

The incident occurred after witnesses reported that a vehicle was moving erratically, running over a volunteer fire company sign before stopping at Lewis’ home. The Baltimore Sun reports that police found Lewis there, smelling of alcohol. He allegedly resisted attempts to be handcuffed.

I ain’t hurt no one,” Lewis allegedly shouted. “I’m in my house.” Following his arrest, which was assisted via a Taser, Lewis reportedly shouted, “I did it!”

Lewis has been charged with resisting arrest and multiple traffic offenses. He was not charged with DUI because police believed Lewis possibly consumed alcohol after returning home.

Lewis, 36, played nine years in the NFL. After six years in Baltimore, he spent one season with the Texans and two with the Jaguars.
