Ex-Cowboys WR Lucky Whitehead Arrested on DUI Charge

Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Lucky Whitehead was arrested in December and charged with a DUI, driving without a license and failure to use a seat belt, according to TMZ Sports.

The 26-year-old was reportedly pulled over for failing to obey a traffic signal and was arrested when he refused to take a Breathalyzer.

He is set to appear in court in February.

Whitehead has already seen his career impacted by legal trouble, though he was innocent the last time around.

He was released by the Cowboys in 2017 after being charged with petty larceny, but it was a case of mistaken identity, and all charges were dropped. 

Although the return specialist was picked up by the New York Jets, he mostly spent time on the practice squad and never appeared in a game before being waived. Whitehead remains a free agent but hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2016.
