TULSA, Okla. — Former NFL player Alonzo Spellman was arrested Tuesday after Tulsa police fired pepper-spray pellets into his car following a nearly 20-minute chase.

The former Ohio State star was booked into the Tulsa County Jail on complaints of eluding, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest and driving without a license, jail records show. His bond was set at $10,700, and Spellman remained jailed early Tuesday evening.

The chase began at 12:23 p.m. after officers responded to a disturbance at a convenience store in midtown Tulsa, police spokesman Leland Ashley said. When officers arrived, Spellman got into a green Chrysler Pacifica and drove away, Ashley said.

"He took us on a little pursuit through the city," Ashley said. "We had to use stop sticks that took out three of his tires."

After the vehicle stopped, the 36-year-old Spellman refused to get out of the car for about 20 minutes until officers fired "pepper bullets" through the windows.

Ashley said he's unaware of Spellman's ties to the Tulsa community or whether he has an attorney.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Spellman was a first-round draft choice for the Chicago Bears in 1992. He played nine seasons in the NFL for the Bears, Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys, recording 43 sacks in 123 games and leading the Bears with eight sacks during the 1996 season.

Spellman has a history of treatment for mental illness and was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation after his involvement in a standoff with police at the home of his publicist in 1998.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty in 2003 to interfering with the crew of a Delta Air Lines flight from Cincinnati to Philadelphia.

2 added to Pro Bowl

Cowboys linebacker Greg Ellis and Chargers left tackle Marcus McNeill were added to the Pro Bowl teams Tuesday, replacing the Bears' Lance Briggs and the Ravens' Jonathan Ogden, respectively.

Odds and ends

Cowboys: Former Dallas head coach Dave Campo rejoined the staff Tuesday, returning to his roots as the secondary coach.

Draft: University of Missouri running back Tony Temple announced Tuesday he will give up on any further appeals for an extra year of eligibility and get ready for the NFL draft.
