The 23-year-old is being held without bond at Kenton County jail, and no attorney is listed for him. Covington police spokesman Spike Jones said the accident happened early Friday.

There was minor damage to Maualuga's 2003 Pontiac.

The Bengals' 2009 second-round draft choice from Southern Cal started the first 15 games of his rookie season before breaking his left ankle.

Team spokesman Jack Brennan says he won't comment until the case is resolved.
