Timbers Captain and Goalkeeper Arrested for DUII

Two members of the Portland Timbers were arrested early Tuesday morning on charges of driving under the influence. Goalkeeper Jake Gleason (left) and team captain Liam Ridgewell (right) were arrested in Lake Oswego and booked into Clackamas County Jail.

Gleeson had been driving his BMW by the intersection of Willow Court and Pilkington Road when he crashed with a Nissan. He then called Ridgwell to come pick up.

Police determined both were drunk and arrested them.

Both were released on $7,500 bail and will be in court on November 16th.

The driver of the Nissan was not injured and won't be facing any charges.

"The team is aware of the events that occurred last evening involving players Jake Gleeson and Liam Ridgewell and is in the process of gathering information on the matter," the Timbers said in a statement. "The team has been in close contact with the players, local law enforcement and the league office. The club will not have further comment until more information is available."

The Timbers, coming off a championship season, were eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday when they lost 4-1 to the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Timbers did not have a single win on the road this season.
