Former NFL star Eddie Lacy was thrown behind bars in Arizona on Monday night… after cops claimed he was driving drunk.
According to the Scottsdale Police Department, the former Green Bay Packers traffic jam was stopped around 10:40 p.m. — after officers said they saw him committing several traffic violations.

He apparently showed signs of being intoxicated during the stop… as an SPD spokesperson said. TMZ Sports Lacy was ultimately arrested and booked on four separate DUI charges, including “Extreme DUI – BAC .20 or more.”
Lacy was also taken into custody on charges of “alcoholic beverage – having open container in vehicle,” the spokesperson said.
A prison official told us he was released Tuesday morning. Further details about his arrest were not immediately available.
After being selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft… Lacy became an immediate star in Green Bay – rushing for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in his first two seasons.
He continued to struggle to find similar success over the next two years with the Pack, however… and ended up leaving the NFL after a 2017 season with the Seahawks.
