EX-COWBOY NEWTON IS ARRESTED

Former Dallas Cowboy offensive lineman Nate Newton, 39, was arrested
Wednesday at Dallas on charges of carrying at least 175 pounds of marijuana
in his car, his second such arrest in six weeks.

Newton, facing a felony charge of possession with intent to deliver, was
being held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, Dallas County Sheriff's
Department spokesman Don Peritz said. Newton was to be arraigned Wednesday
night.

On Nov. 4, Newton was arrested in Louisiana after police said they found
213 pounds of marijuana in a van he was driving. He was released on
$100,000 bond on charges of suspicion of possessing marijuana with intent
to distribute. Peritz said Drug Enforcement Administration agents flagged
down Dallas County officers on a highway to seek help stopping two vehicles
traveling together.

Newton and two men were arrested.

Newton was a six-time Pro Bowl selection who helped Dallas win three Super
Bowls. He played 14 seasons, 13 with Dallas. He retired last year after
playing with Carolina.
