Raiders' Charles Snowden Arrested on DUI Charge in Las Vegas

The defensive end faces a misdemeanor charge after being found passed out in his vehicle with a blood-alcohol level over twice the legal limit.

  • Las Vegas police arrested Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden early Tuesday after responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle near a busy intersection.
  • Snowden was found passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle perched on a retaining wall, with a reported blood-alcohol level of 0.19%, more than twice Nevada's legal limit of 0.08%.
  • The 26-year-old first-time offender was charged with a misdemeanor DUI, released without bond, and is scheduled for a court appearance in April.
  • The Raiders and the NFL have acknowledged the incident but have not commented on its potential impact on Snowden's status with the team.
  • Snowden is in his first season with the Raiders, having played all 13 games so far, and the team has dealt with multiple DUI-related arrests since relocating to Las Vegas in 2020.
