EXCLUSIVE

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Damien Berry -- who started for the Miami Hurricanes in 2010 -- was arrested this morning in Florida ... after allegedly bouncing more than $100k in bad checks.

TMZ Sports has confirmed ... the 25-year-old, who was part of the Ravens 2013 Super Bowl championship team, is currently locked up in Lee County jail on a warrant from Maryland.

We're told Berry is facing 1 count of bouncing a check over $100k and 1 count of unauthorized removal of property.

In other words, it seems like officials believe he bought something with bad checks ... and illegally took possession of the goods.
