HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Tennessee Titans offensive guard Benji Olson was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

Olson, 24, of Old Hickory, Tenn., was arrested Saturday at a shopping center.

According to police reports, an employee of a convenience store called police after a man, who appeared to be intoxicated, entered the store to ask directions and purchase beer. The caller gave a description of the man and his vehicle to police, who stopped the car at the shopping center.

The reports said Olson registered .097 on a breath-alcohol test. Drivers with a blood-alcohol level of 0.10 or higher are presumed drunk under Kentucky law. Olson was charged after being given several field sobriety tests.

Olson's arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in Christian District Court. He was released from the Christian County Jail after posting $515 cash bond.

Olson was a fifth-round draft choice in 1998 out of Washington.
