CLEVELAND >> Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar has been arrested on drunken driving charges in suburban Cleveland.
Police in Solon say Kosar was arrested early today. A police statement says Kosar was pulled over for speeding at around 2:45 a.m. and officers smelled a strong odor of alcohol.
The police statement says Kosar took sobriety tests and was taken to jail. He was alone in the car.
Kosar didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
