Bears' Pringle arrested on driving charges
Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle was arrested Saturday in Florida for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license, according to an incident report obtained by ESPN's Courtney Cronin.
Pringle was pulled over and eventually charged after allegedly doing donuts on a public road. An adult and a child were passengers in the vehicle.
While arresting him, police discovered that Pringle's Florida-issued license was suspended for financial responsibility as of Feb. 10 with a seize tag order and was also suspended for failing to pay a traffic fine as of March 7.
Pringle was "verbally confrontational" with the arresting officer, according to the incident report.
The Bears signed Pringle to a one-year, $6-million contract in March. The 28-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
