Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was arrested last night in Houston, Texas.

He's accused of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

According to montgomerycountrypolicereporter.com, Oliver was pulled over for driving dangerously in a construction zone. This happened after a motorist called 911, saying a white Ford superduty pickup wasn’t staying in the lane.

When he was pulled over by a Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy, Oliver was found to have been allegedly driving with an open containing between his legs, and a pistol was allegedly found in the truck.

The 22-year-old was booked at the Montgomery County Jail and is charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of unlawfully carrying a weapon.

In a statement, the Bills said," We are aware of the situation and we are gathering more information. We will have no further comment at this point."

The NFL's statement on the incident reads, "We are aware of the matter. We have no further comment at this time."

Oliver was the Bills 1st round pick (9th overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office released the following statement:

“Around 9pm Saturday evening, Montgomery County Communications received a 911 call from a concerned motorist advising of a white Ford F250 pulling a trailer with an ATV was driving recklessly.  The caller advised the area of Highway 242 they were traveling was a construction zone with a 45MPH speed limit, the white Ford pickup was not able to stay in its own lane and was speeding.  An attempt to locate was broadcasted over the radio.

Soon after a deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was able to located and stop the vehicle on FM 242 near FM 1485.  After an investigation, the deputy asked for one of Constable Rowdy Hayden’s DWI Unit’s to make the scene.  Shortly after, a sergeant with the DWI Unit arrived and began a DWI investigation. 

After failing field sobriety tests, Oliver was placed in custody for misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.  Inside Oliver’s vehicle, deputies found a small caliber pistol; Texas law states that one cannot be in possession of a handgun while engaged in criminal activity.  Oliver was also charged with misdemeanor Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon.”

“Driving while intoxicated is a very serious crime,” Constable Hayden said. “Many lives have been lost or affected by someone’s decision to drive while intoxicated. Our office is committed to making our streets safer.”
