Le'Veon Bell Held in Stark County on Michigan Child Support Warrant
Police said Bell was held on a Michigan child-support warrant and booked into Stark County Jail after an autograph-signing appearance.
- On Saturday, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell was arrested at a mall in Canton, Ohio, on a Michigan child support warrant.
- Bell's attorney, Thomas Shaffer, claimed the child support charge is "inaccurately" based on past NFL and boxing income, noting his client cashed in a pension to pay $50,000.
- During his five-year tenure in Pittsburgh, Bell earned three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro honors, retiring with 9,843 yards from scrimmage and 51 touchdowns.
- Currently, the 34-year-old remains in custody at the Stark County Jail on a "courtesy hold for another agency" while awaiting Michigan warrant processing.
- Bell is not the only former Steelers player to face off-field issues since his playing days; former teammate Antonio Brown has also encountered various headlines.
