Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden was arrested on charges of driving under the influence earlier this week.

Officers booked Snowden into the Clark County Detention Center early Tuesday morning after police responded to reports of a “suspicious vehicle.”

Snowden, 26, received a misdemeanor DUI charge as a first-time offender and was released without bond on Wednesday.

“Mr. Snowden will be entering a not guilty plea and we will respond in court, which is the appropriate forum,” Snowden’s attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said in a statement Thursday, according to KLAS.

Snowden has played in all 13 games (seven starts) in his first season with the Raiders (2-11), recording 30 tackles, six quarterback hits and 1.5 sacks.

Undrafted out of Virginia in 2021, he played in two games for the Chicago Bears that season before spending time on the practice squads of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2022) and Raiders (2023).

More on the Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders placed running back Zamir White on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season.

Also on Tuesday, Las Vegas signed Carter Bradley to the 53-man active roster and fellow quarterback Jake Luton to the practice squad. Those moves come on the heels of quarterback Aidan O’Connell nursing a bone bruise to his knee.

The reeling Raiders (2-11) have lost nine in a row heading into Monday’s game against the visiting Atlanta Falcons (6-7).

White has been sidelined since sustaining a quad injury in Las Vegas’ 34-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 17.

The move requires White to sit out four games and the Raiders have four contests remaining on their schedule.

White, 25, has rushed 65 times for just 183 yards and one touchdown in eight games (five starts) this season. He also has six catches for 30 yards.
