Former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Derrick Ward was reportedly arrested in Los Angeles this week over multiple alleged robberies.
The 43-year-old is accused of robbing a number of businesses including gas stations, according to TMZ.
Reports claim Ward, who was part of the New York Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII in 2008, was taken into custody on Monday.
The LA native is said to have used ‘force’ and ‘fear’ to take money from the stores, though police reportedly insist he did not use a gun during the robberies.
Ward played in the NFL between 2004 and 2011, spending time with the New York Jets, the Giants, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans.
