Arizona Cardinals executive Ronald Minegar arrested for DUI in Chandler

It was quite the weekend for the Arizona Cardinals. First, Darius Philon gets cut after he was accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Now, Cardinals Executive Vice President and COO Ronald Minegar was arrested and is accused of driving under the influence.

To have so much hype on the field, the Cardinals have had issues off the field. Within two months, three players have been in trouble with the law - all of them no longer on the team. Now, police say they caught a top executive drinking and driving - and he's not the first.

Chandler Police say 60-year-old Minegar failed to drive within one lane, even driving in the bicycle lane before an officer pulled him over for speeding near Pecos Road and Arizona Avenue. Police cited and released Minegar.

Minegar is now in his 20th season with the Cardinals. The question is - what consequences will he face?

Last Fourth of July, Chandler Police arrested Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim for DUI after police say he drove erratically. The Cardinals suspended Keim for five weeks and fined him $200,000.

"I do want to take this opportunity to personally apologize to our fanbase, the entire Cardinals organization, and most of all my family," Keim said.

The money Keim had to pay went to the Arizona Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

The Arizona Cardinals released the following statement on the arrest:

Ronald Minegar

As far as those consequences, we'll keep you updated on what happens to Minegar.
