Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle was arrested in Pasco County, Florida on Saturday.

Reports showed the 28-year-old was seen doing donuts in his 2016 Dodge Challenge SRT Hellcat on a public road. Pringle was driving with another adult and had a child in the back seat. He was also driving on a suspended license.

Pringle was arrested after officials said he ignored commands from a Florida Highway Patrol officer and was “verbally confrontational”. He was then taken into custody and is now charged with reckless driving on a suspended license.

The Bears signed Pringle as a free agent last month on a one-year contract worth $4.125 million.
