Former Ridgewood football star Byronell Arline was arrested for cocaine possession by the New Port Richey Police Department 12:19 a.m. Sunday. He was released later that morning on $5,000 bond.

Arline, 18, who landed a scholarship to play football at Dodge City (Kansas) Community College, returned to Florida in July, following a two-week stint at Dodge City.

At the time, Ridgewood football coach Chris Taylor said Arline didn’t feel “like he fit in there, so he decided to come home.”

That scholarship was the culmination of a record setting high season and career for the running back. In 2007, Arline’s senior season, he churned up 2,188 yards and 35 touchdowns, eclipsing records set in 2001 by former Wesley Chapel star Tyrone Tomlin.

He ended his career with 5,189 rushing yards, which broke the mark set in 2000 by former Land O’ Lakes back Godfrey Pestana.
