Not long after the “days without an arrest” meter returned to the rare air of double digits, it has been reset once again to zero.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox has been arrested for sexual assault.

The arrest occurred on Thursday nigh at 10:00 p.m. local time. Cox currently is being held in the Douglas County Detention Center.

“”We are aware of the reports and are currently in the process of gathering information and reviewing the facts,” Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth told the Post. “We are taking this matter very seriously and are fully cooperating with every aspect of the process.”

Cox, a rookie from Oklahoma State, has appeared in eleven games with eight starts in 2010.
