WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – Former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle is jailed in Kansas on suspicion of aggravated battery, drug possession and criminal damage to property.

An official at the Sedgwick County Jail in Randle’s hometown of Wichita says the 24-year-old was arrested and booked around 8:15 a.m. Sunday. Bond is set at $100,000. It wasn’t immediately clear if Randle had an attorney.

Wichita Police Lt. James Espinoza didn’t immediately return a phone message seeking more information about the charges.

Randle has had a string of run-ins with the law, beginning with a 2014 shoplifting arrest. He’s also charged in neighboring Sumner County in a November disturbance at a casino. Earlier this month, he was arrested in Irving, Texas, after it was determined he was wanted for speeding.

The Cowboys released him last fall.
