Jack Gruden, son of Redskins head coach Jay Gruden, arrested and charged with public drunkenness

The son of Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with being drunk in public.

According to the police report, Jack Gruden was arrested at 2:15 Sunday morning after a series of confrontations in a popular restaurant and bar district in Ashburn, Virginia, about five minutes from the Redskins' facility.

The report stated that a deputy broke up a confrontation between Gruden and another male. Gruden, according to the report, was then involved in two more confrontations leading to his arrest. He has a hearing scheduled for March 21.

Gruden, 22, has spent the past two seasons on the Redskins' staff, first as a volunteer and then as a video assistant this past year.

Redskins senior vice president of communications Tony Wyllie said in a statement, "We are aware of the arrest of Jack Gruden. We are gathering more information and will not comment until we have further details."
