Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb was arrested on DUI charges for the second time in less than two years after a traffic accident last month in Arizona.

McNabb rear-ended a car stopped at a traffic light in Gilbert, Ariz., on June 28, according to a police statement on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old McNabb's blood-alcohol level was not specified by Gilbert police. He was cited and released after being taken into custody.

The Gilbert police report said: "On 06/28/2015 at approximately 2335 hours, officers responded to a non-injury collision involving two vehicles which occurred just west of the intersection at E Chandler Heights Rd and S Higley Rd in Gilbert, AZ. Subsequent investigation revealed Donovan McNabb (11/25/76) was impaired by alcohol and collided in a rear-end fashion with another vehicle which was stopped at a red traffic signal. Donovan was arrested for DUI at 2358 hours and transported to the Gilbert/Chandler Unified Holding Facility for processing, after which, he was cited and released."

After a 2013 arrest, McNabb spent one day in jail on misdemeanor DUI charges in Arizona.
