Former Washington State star and ex-NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested Friday on burglary, theft and drug charges in his hometown of Great Falls.

The Great Falls Tribune reported that Leaf was booked into the Cascade County Detention Center at abouty 1 p.m. Friday and posted a $76,000 bond later that day.

Leaf was arrested at about 12:35 p.m. Friday, Great Falls Police Sgt. Dean Bennett told the Tribune. Bennett said Leaf was arrested at the Probation and Parole Office at 219 5th St. S.

"One of our officers picked him up, arrested him and booked him in," Bennett said.

The Tribune reported he was charged with burglary and criminal possession of dangerous drugs – both felonies – and a misdemeanor count of theft. But details behind the charges were not immediately released.

Leaf is serving a 10-year suspended sentence that he received in Texas in April 2010 after pleading guilty to drug-related charges, and he has been under the supervision of the Probation and Parole Office in Great Falls for that offense.
