Allen Park, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Lions have terminated the
contract of cornerback Aaron Berry, who was arrested on Saturday for the
second time this offseason.
According to a report on the team's website, Berry was released due to
"personal conduct which adversely affects the club."
The report stated that Berry was arrested and charged with three counts of
simple assault on Saturday in his hometown of Harrisburg, Pa., for allegedly
brandishing a firearm.
Berry, who is entering his third NFL season, was also arrested in June on
suspicion of driving under the influence and several other related counts.
The University of Pittsburgh product played each of his first two seasons with
the Lions, appearing in 12 games -- four starts -- over that span. He recorded
31 tackles and 11 passes defended last year.
