Palm Desert, CA (AP) – Former Dallas Cowboy Ryan Leaf has been arrested in Southern California. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department says the 44 year old former NFL quarterback was arrested Friday on a domestic battery charge in Palm Desert, which is about 110 miles southeast of Los Angeles. According to booking information provided by the sheriff’s department, Leaf is being held on $5,000 bail. Leaf was arrested in 2012 for breaking into a home in Montana to steal prescription drugs, which was a violation of his 2010 Texas drug conviction probation sentence, and led to Leaf’s 5 year imprisonment. During his NFL career Leaf played for the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys.
