Browns starting cornerback Leigh Bodden ended up in the Cleveland City Jail on Wednesday after being arrested at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport. He was accused of aggravated disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and various traffic offenses.
According to Lt. Thomas Stacho, public information officer for the Cleveland Police Department, Bodden was spotted about 6:30 p.m. driving a 2004 GMC Yukon the wrong way on the lower roadway for arriving flights. When a police officer instructed Bodden to stop, he didn't immediately, but complied with a second request, pulling his vehicle to the curb and walking away.
Stacho said Bodden was ordered to move the vehicle from the no-parking zone, but Bodden responded he was there to pick up some people. According to a source, Bodden was picking up his girlfriend and their two children, a two-year-old daughter 2-year-old daughter and a 6-week-old son.
Asked again to move and to provide his driver's license, Bodden said it was in the vehicle. When the officer confronted Bodden, Bodden became ''extremely verbally abusive,'' Stacho said.
''The officer called for assistance and a number of other officers responded and observed Mr. Bodden's tirade, including the use of numerous profanities,'' Stacho said.
The officers placed Bodden under arrest, which he resisted.
The police department had 24 hours to consult with the municipal prosecutor to decide whether to charge or release Bodden.
A Browns spokesperson said: ''We are aware of the situation that took place this evening with Leigh Bodden at the Cleveland Airport airport and we are still gathering the facts at this time.''
