Former Atlanta Falcons player Jamal Anderson poses on arrival for the 27th annual Sports Spectacular in Los Angeles on May 20, 2012 in California. The event was established in 1986 in response to the promise of genetic research leading to the understanding of numerous genetic diseases found in children and adults, and since then raising more than 21 million USD to benefit the life-saving work of the Ceders-Sinai Medical Genetics Institute.

"When cops arrived, Anderson was a mess—stuffing his face with a bag of potato chips. One of the officers asked for his driver's license, Anderson reached into his pocket and presented the cop a pack of cigarettes. When that didn't work, Anderson offered up his chips. She didn't accept that as a proper form of identification, either."

TMZ also reported the limo driver did not choose to press charges.

Anderson, 46, was a 1998 Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro selection that season. For his career, he rushed for 5,336 yards and 34 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons with the Falcons, eclipsing 1,000 rushing yards four times. He helped lead the team to the Super Bowl in 1998, where Atlanta lost to the Denver Broncos.

He also famously started the "Dirty Bird" dance, a touchdown celebration with his teammates.

He's had trouble with the law after his playing days, however. Per TMZ, "He's been arrested multiple times for things like cocaine, DUI and exposing himself in a gas station."
