Eagles Veteran Arrested Hours After Release Amid Charges of Public Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct
The Philadelphia Eagles’ roster moves on Sunday took an unexpected turn off the field just hours later.
According to multiple local reports, a veteran defensive player was arrested in South Philadelphia on Sunday night following an alleged incident of
public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
Sources say the situation unfolded shortly after the player learned of his release from the team earlier that afternoon.
Witnesses at the scene described him as visibly upset and under the influence while in a public area near a downtown restaurant district.
Police were called after bystanders reported an altercation that quickly escalated.
Officers arrived at approximately 9:30 p.m., where the player reportedly resisted being detained and continued shouting at the scene.
Authorities confirmed that no one was seriously injured, though the incident led to multiple charges being filed.
The player was later identified as Charley Hughlett, a veteran long snapper who had spent season 2025 with the Eagles, appearing in 7 career games and starting 7. Just hours before the incident, Philadelphia announced that Hughlett had been waived.
For those who knew Hughlett within the organization, the news came as a shock. Known for his quiet professionalism and hard-working attitude, teammates expressed sadness over the situation and concern for his well-being.
Hughlett, 35, was booked overnight and later released on bail Wednesday morning. The incident remains under investigation, with a court appearance expected later next week.
