Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Arron Sears was released from jail on Tuesday and will enter an 18-month mental health pretrial intervention program.
Sears, 26, was held in custody for 62 days on a charge of battery on a law enforcement officer. The incident occurred in June at Tampa General Hospital, where Sears was hospitalized under the Baker Act.
After Sears failed to appear for a court hearing, he was found wandering on a busy road in November and arrested on an outstanding warrant. He was released on $2,000 bail.
When Sears missed another court appearance in December, Circuit Judge Kimberly Fernandez issued another warrant. Sears was arrested on Feb. 2 and held without bond until he was released on Tuesday.
