CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns surrendered to authorities Wednesday for a night in jail after being charged with domestic violence.Droughns, 27, was being held without bond until a court hearing Thursday morning, Arapahoe County sheriff Patrol Capt. Mark Fisher said.Fisher said Droughns faces misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and harassment for an incident in this suburb south of Denver that happened May 12, three days after a jury in Medina, Ohio, acquitted him of drunken driving.Fisher said Droughns had left the scene before sheriff's deputies arrived. Droughns turned himself in and was arrested at 3:11 p.m. Wednesday after deputies contacted him through his attorney.Details of the incident were not provided by authorities. Neither Droughns' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, nor a Browns spokeswoman, Amy Palcic, returned messages left after hours.Droughns, who signed a three-year contract extension with the Browns earlier this year, rushed for 1,232 yards last season on 309 carries, scoring two touchdowns. He was traded to Cleveland from Denver in March 2005.Earlier this month, a jury decided Droughns was not impaired by alcohol when an Ohio State Patrol trooper pulled him over Nov. 1. A breath test showed Droughns had an alcohol level of 0.08, the state's legal limit.Droughns was charged with failing the Breathalyzer test, driving under the influence and traveling 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.Droughns and his wife, Kellie, disputed the trooper's testimony that Droughns was weaving, and Droughns said he was unfamiliar with the speed limit in the area. Droughns said he drank three cocktails at a Halloween party that night.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2457335
You just cant do that. These players are making alot of money to play football. You really need to show respect to other people because you just can't do what you want because that is breaking the rule. These guys are professional so they should know what's right from wrong. Why are players so immature when it comes to problems? Just because you're making billion of dollars doesn't mean you can take over this world.

"I'm a good character guy."Droughns is charged with one count of assault and two counts of harassment. An arrest report said Droughns threw his wife, Kellie, out the door of their suburban Denver home May 12 after she said she wanted a divorce.Droughns called it a small incident and said nothing like it had happened before. He said he hopes the charges are dropped."If truly, it does get taken care of and he's exonerated like he feels like he will be and there are no other incidents, it won't be a problem," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said.Droughns faces six to 18 months in jail if convicted of assault and up to six months in jail if convicted of harassment.Just days before the incident, a jury acquitted Droughns of drunken driving charges, finding he was not impaired by alcohol when a State Highway Patrol trooper stopped him Nov. 1 in northeast Ohio."I feel like there's too many strikes against me," Droughns said. "The first strike was holding out. The second strike was obviously the DUI and the third strike was this latest incident. It's given me a lot more to prove on the field."Droughns came to Cleveland in a 2005 trade with Denver. He held out briefly before last season then rushed for 1,232 yards and two touchdowns. He signed a three-year extension with the Browns this year.</div>http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/CLE/9510963
