The Baltimore Ravens have found themselves in the spotlight for yet another troubling incident involving one of their players.
This time, it’s offensive lineman Ben Cleveland, who was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) just last week.
Arrest Details
According to reports from TMZ Sports, Cleveland, who plays for the Ravens, was caught driving his truck in Milledgeville, Georgia, on February 12.
He was allegedly over twice the legal blood alcohol limit.
To make matters worse, Cleveland was also cited for failure to maintain his lane.
When questioned by the police, Cleveland reportedly admitted to drinking “around 3-4 beers” at a country club before getting behind the wheel.
The 6’6″, 360-pound lineman grew up in Georgia and played for the Bulldogs before being drafted by the Ravens in 2021.
Ravens Already Dealing with Another Scandal
This arrest comes at a time when the Ravens are already reeling from shocking accusations against their star kicker, Justin Tucker.
Tucker, who is married, has recently been accused of sexual misconduct by seven more women, bringing the total number of accusers to 16.
The new allegations, which were reported by the Baltimore Banner, date back to Tucker’s early NFL years, between 2012 and 2016.
One accuser claims that Tucker left what she believed to be ejaculate on a massage table, while another described feeling uncomfortable due to his intense eye contact during a massage while he was exposed.
Despite the growing number of accusers, both Tucker and the Ravens have remained tight-lipped, though Tucker previously issued a denial after the first wave of accusations.
What’s Next for the Ravens?
With the Ravens’ season already behind them after a divisional round loss to the Buffalo Bills, attention now turns to how these scandals will affect the team moving forward.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh will likely face questions about the issues surrounding his players when he attends the NFL scouting combine next week.
As if the Ravens weren’t already dealing with enough turmoil, these scandals add more uncertainty to an already turbulent offseason.
