Dillon, who won the 2005 Super Bowl as a member of the New England Patriots, was arrested near his suburban Los Angeles home of Calabasas April 21 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. He was charged with one count of operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level above .08 and the other count alleges Dillon drove with under the influence of alcohol and an unspecified drug.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report the charges.
Dillon, a native of Seattle, spent 10 seasons in the NFL, the first seven with Bengals. He then played for three seasons in New England and retired following the 2006 season.
Dillon was also arrested last month after an altercation with his wife at their home, but prosecutors didn't file charges due to lack of evidence. The sheriff's office at the time said the argument stemmed from their pending divorce and child custody issues.
