The Detroit Lions can take solace that no player has been arrested in the last week and a half.

But according to a study by U-T San Diego of NFL player arrests and citations, almost a quarter of the arrests this year belong to the Lions.

Defensive tackle Nick Fairley and running back Mikel Leshoure have been arrested twice each for various violations, and offensive lineman Johnny Culbreath was also arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession in South Carolina. He later paid a $412 fine.
