Another Manziel has had a run-in with the law.
Johnny Manziel’s mother Michelle was arrested Saturday for driving while intoxicated in Kerrville, Texas, according to TMZ Sports, which published a mug shot. She reportedly was held on $7,500 bail.
Kerrville is the San Antonio suburb where Manziel rose to high school stardom before he committed to Texas A&M, won the Heisman Trophy as a freshman and later became an NFL first-round draft pick.
Johnny Manziel admitted to drinking and driving in 2015, when he was a member of the Browns.
His cousin, Bobby Joe Manziel, reportedly was sentenced to four years in jail for driving while intoxicated.
“Johnny Football’s” NFL career was derailed by substance-abuse issues that he has detailed since his retirement.
In a documentary on Netflix, he admitted to frequently using OxyContin and cocaine after the 2015 season — shortly before he was released by the Browns — and said that he twice refused to enter rehab.
Manziel said that his refusal to seek treatment strained his relationship with his family.
“It’s been a long, long road, and I don’t know if it’s been great or if it’s been bad – that’s kind of still up for debate,” Paul Manziel, his father, said in the documentary. “But we’re blessed. And he’s still with us. And we can mend all the fences still.”
It was a heart-to-heart conversation with his mother that Johnny credited with getting back into football in 2018, when he signed with the CFL.
He last played in the Fan Controlled Football League in 2022.
Johnny was in a year-long relationship with Josie Canseco — the daughter of former MLB slugger turned PED whistleblower Jose Canseco — until their reported breakup last month.
