NOVI, Mich. -- One-time Detroit Lions receiver Charles Rogers has been charged with drunken driving and driving without a license after Novi police found him Wednesday afternoon "non-responsive behind the wheel" of his running car.
Police said officers found 28-year-old Rogers in his 2003 Mercedes at about 2 p.m. facing southbound on Meadowbrook Road at Eight Mile Road.
Police said fire officials had to climb into Rogers' car through the sunroof to make sure he was OK.
Rogers failed sobriety tests and was arrested, police said.
Rogers was arraigned Thursday morning and jailed with a $50,000 bond.
The second overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft originally was arrested in September and charged with assault and battery involving his fiancée, who is the mother of his four children. He later pleaded no contest to trespassing.
Detroit had signed him to a six-year contract that could have been worth nearly $55 million.
Rogers played five games as a rookie, scoring twice in his debut, before a broken collarbone ended his season.
In the 2004 opener, he had the same season-ending injury.
In 15 games over three seasons, Rogers caught 36 passes for 440 yards and four touchdowns.
