Incident Details

According to reports, the arrest occurred on February 12 when a deputy from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office noticed Cleveland’s black Ford F-250 swerving between lanes on Log Cabin Road. The vehicle reportedly almost veered off into a ditch, prompting the officer to initiate a traffic stop.

During the encounter, Cleveland acknowledged consuming “approximately 3-4 beers” at a country club prior to driving. Observations made by the deputy included the smell of alcohol and Cleveland’s noticeably glossy eyes.

Field Sobriety Tests

Cleveland agreed to participate in Standard Field Sobriety Tests, which included a breathalyzer test. Initial results indicated a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.178, significantly above the legal limit of 0.08. A subsequent test conducted at the Baldwin County Jail reported a BAC of 0.161.

As a result of these findings, Cleveland was charged with DUI and failure to maintain a lane; he was released on bond the following day.

Current Professional Standing

Drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Cleveland has participated in 54 games for the Ravens, starting in seven of those. Following his arrest, questions about his off-field conduct and the potential implications for his career have arisen, particularly regarding any disciplinary measures from the NFL and the Ravens organization.

Future Developments

As legal proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming weeks, it remains uncertain how the situation will affect Cleveland’s career with the Ravens. Further developments may lead to statements or actions from the team or the NFL as they assess the ongoing legal matters. Observers, including fans, will be closely monitoring how Cleveland responds to these charges and the steps he may take moving forward.
