Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Dan Hampton, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002, has been arrested in Indiana for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office in Indiana said Hampton was arrested Nov. 20 on charges of driving while intoxicated in Winfield, where he lives. Winfield is about 50 miles from Chicago.

Hampton was released from jail the next morning after bail was set at $ 25,000.

Hampton, 64, played for the Bears from 1979, where he was drafted with the fourth overall pick, until 1990. He was a member of the Bears’ Super Bowl winning team after the 1985 season.

Hampton played in college in Arkansas, where he was twice selected to the Southwestern All-Conference and Defender of the Year in his final season.

After retiring as a player, he worked as a television and radio analyst, including hosting “The Hamp & O’B Show” on Chicago’s WGN Radio.
