SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Retired NFL receiver Andre Rison was arrested and cited for public intoxication after an early-morning disturbance at a San Antonio hotel.

San Antonio police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez says the former five-time Pro Bowl player was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. yesterday.

Police were called to the hotel after Rison and a friend caused a scene at the Crown Plaza Riverwalk.

He paid an $85 fine for the misdemeanor offense and was released.

Rison won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 1997 and played for seven NFL teams.

His best year was with Atlanta in 1993, when he had 1,242 yards and 15 touchdowns. He now holds football camps around the country.
