Ryan Leaf Arrested for the Second Time in Four Days

Apr 03, 2012 01:20 PM EDT

Ex-Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested on Monday for the second time in three days, this time on charges of breaking into a home and stealing prescription drugs.

He was also arrested Friday when police found him to be in possession of oxycodone pills that he allegedly stole from the home of a friend.

Leaf was released on Friday after posting a $76,000 bail, but after his second infraction he is not eligible for bail so he will remain in jail in Central Falls, Mont., until he can make his court appearances for the various offenses.

Leaf was already on probation from his time as a quarterbacks coach for West Texas A&M. He was accused of breaking into a player's home and the subsequent investigation showed that he had obtained nearly 1,000 pain pills during the eight months he was a coach.

Leaf pleaded out of jail time in Texas, but was sentenced to 10 years' probation as part of the agreement. His latest arrests violate that probation.

He now faces serious jail time for the two most recent infractions as well as the probation violation, and will be extradited to Texas to face charges there as well.
