Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle has yet to play a down for his new team, but his tenure is not off to a great start.
According to TMZ, the veteran receiver was arrested Saturday in Florida after police pulled him over for doing donuts on a public road.
Pringle was driving with a suspended license and had his young child in the car during the incident. Reports also indicate Pringle was not cooperating with the police, being “verbally confrontational” during the ordeal.
