MIAMI - Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette was arrested on drug charges in Miami Beach.

Arnette, who is now a free agent, was pulled over by police just before 1 a.m. Tuesday in the 500 block of Collins Avenue. One of the officer's recognized him from a traffic stop the day before where he was cited for driving with a suspended license.
