Longtime Raiders offensive lineman Khalif Barnes, now a free agent, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in the East Bay, authorities said Monday.

Barnes, 33, was arrested on the Eden Canyon Road off-ramp of eastbound Interstate 580 in Castro Valley about 4 p.m. Sunday, said Officer Derek Reed, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. He was taken to Santa Rita Jail after failing a series of field sobriety tests and was cited and released after sobering up, officials said.

The case was referred to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, Reed said.

Barnes’ agent, David Butz, declined to comment.

Barnes played for the Raiders between 2009 and 2015. In 2006, while playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, he was charged with drunken driving after allegedly traveling more than 100 mph.

He pleaded no contest and received probation in the incident, which made headlines when a video emerged showing him accusing Jacksonville officers of racism in a profanity-laced rant.
