HOUSTON  –  Cleveland Browns defensive back Kenny Wright was arrested Thursday morning after leading Pearland police on a foot chase.

Police say they were investigating a disturbance involving Wright in the police department’s parking lot when he took off running despite officers’ warnings.

The former Houston Texans defensive back was caught a short time later in a nearby subdivision. Police also found 1.875 ounces of marijuana in his vehicle.

“The foot chase was about a quarter of a mile,” Sgt. Roy Castillo said in a prepared Pearland Police Department statement. “We had people on scene pretty fast, and I believe because of our quick response time and the mental and physical toughness of our officers to catch offenders, we were able to get him in custody quickly and safely.”

Wright was charged with Unlawful Restraint-Class “A” Misdemeanor; Evading Arrest Fleeing-Class “B” Misdemeanor; and Possession of Marijuana-Class “B” Misdemeanor.
