Former NFL tight end Lance Kendricks was busted for DUI in Santa Monica over the weekend … after cops say they found him knocked out in the driver’s seat with the engine running.
TMZ Sports has learned … SMPD officers were dispatched around 2:15 AM on Sunday regarding a newer model Ford Bronco that was swerving.
Cops say they located the whip on Ocean Avenue and made contact with 34-year-old Kendricks, who they say was passed out.
Law enforcement sources tell us Kendricks eventually awoke and appeared drunk … and after conducting field sobriety tests, it was determined he had driven while intoxicated.
We’re told Kendricks took a breathalyzer … and blew over double the .08 legal limit.
Kendricks, who last played in the NFL in 2019, was booked on a DUI charge.
TMZ Sports has obtained Kendricks’ mug shot … which shows the former tight end looking annoyed.
Kendricks played nine seasons in the NFL with St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Packers, and Chargers.
He made $5,000 bail and was released later Sunday morning.
It’s not Kendricks’ first run-in with police — he was previously busted for weed in 2017.
