     MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ Former Minnesota Vikings great Carl Eller has
been arrested.

     Eller was involved in an alcohol-related driving offense and
assaulted a police officer in north Minneapolis early Wednesday,
police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Garcia told WCCO-AM.

     Eller didn‘t immediately return calls to his home and cell
phones.

     In 2006, Eller was charged with driving under the influence. He
later pleaded guilty.
