OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - An Alameda County, Calif., sheriff's officer says Marshawn Lynch was arrested in Oakland for investigation of DUI.

Lynch is a Seattle Seahawks running back.

Sgt. Raymond Kelly said Monday the 26-year-old Lynch was arrested Saturday night by the California Highway Patrol. The San Jose Mercury News reports that Lynch was taken to the Santa Rita Jail, where he was cited and released.

In a statement Monday night, the Seahawks said they were "aware of the situation with Marshawn and still gathering information."

A California Highway Patrol spokesman was not immediately reachable by phone Monday night.
