ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Darrell Hackney, the third-string quarterback for the Denver Broncos, faces drunken driving charges after being arrested in Colorado.

Englewood police spokesman Brad Johnson said when the 24-year-old NFL player was stopped this weekend, the arresting officer had probable cause to take him into custody, The Denver Post reported Sunday.

After being processed and released Saturday, the former University of Alabama-Birmingham standout traveled with the Broncos for a Sunday game in Oakland, Calif., which the Raiders won 34-20.

His arrest marked the second time in the past two months that a member of the Broncos has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.

Brandon Marshall was arrested Oct. 22 in Denver for suspicion of drunken driving, the Post said.

If convicted, both players could face mandatory suspensions from the league.
