An incident report released by the California Highway Patrol on Tuesday described Lynch driving a Ford Econoline van and having two near collisions with two other vehicles driving in adjacent lanes.

After multiple field sobriety tests, Lynch was arrested and booked into jail, where he was cited and later released.

Vilma was suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the team’s bounty program and has since sought a restraining order.
