Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was arrested and charged with criminal speeding on Wednesday morning.

Arizona Department of Safety spokesman Bart Graves said that Brown was arrested at 7:05 a.m. in north Phoenix and booked in the Maricopa County Jail.

Brown was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in a draft-day trade that sent the Cardinals' first-round pick (23rd overall pick) to Baltimore in exchange for Brown and the 100th overall pick.

"We are aware of the situation regarding Hollywood Brown and have reported it to the NFL office as required," the Cardinals said in a statement. "We will comment further as appropriate."

Arizona laws say anything over 20 mph the posted speed limit is criminal speeding. It is a misdemeanor.

With the Ravens last year, the speedy-wide receiver out of Oklahoma had a career year, setting personal bests in catches (91) and receiving yards (1008) while scoring six touchdowns, two shy of his career-best eight touchdowns scored in 2020.
