Former Redskins cornerback Bashaud Breeland was arrested Tuesday on multiple charges in York County, South Carolina.
Breeland, who re-signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, is charged with resisting arrest, having alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal open, having open beer or wine in a motor vehicle, possession of 28 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams of hash and driving without a license.
On Twitter, Breeland defended himself from the charges — suggesting two men threw the substances into his car while he was getting gas:
Lot of people wanna speculate On my situation and don’t know the facts I really was at a gas pump got approach by two guys police pulled up they throw something my car as police pulled up which the cop saw and I was the one detained wit charges that really shouldn’t be charged

Breeland, 28, spent the first four seasons of his career with Washington. Last year, he joined the Kansas City Chiefs and won a Super Bowl.
