Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was arrested last week for driving under the influence, per an incident report from authorities in Baldwin County, Ga.

Per the report, Cleveland was pulled over around 10:25 p.m. ET on Feb. 12 after he was seen swerving and moving between lanes. The lineman was said to have then undergone a field sobriety test, where he registered a 0.178 blood alcohol content, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. He allegedly admitted to drinking "approximately three to four beers," according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

After being taken to a nearby jail, Cleveland was given two citations: one for driving under the influence of alcohol and one for failing to maintain his lane. He was later bonded out and released.

The 26-year-old OL is a Georgia native and an alum of the University of Georgia, out of which he was selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft. He played as a backup OL in all regular and postseason games in 2024–25 and is set to become a free agent in March.
