Silly Cedric, Lake Travis isn't international waters:
Former Longhorn running back Cedric Benson said he is innocent.
He was charged with Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) charges along with the resisting arrest charges on Lake Travis Saturday night.
Benson was arrested after a Lower Colorado River Authority officer said he failed a sobriety test.
Benson was operating a 30 foot boat with 15 passengers on it when he was randomly checked for a safety inspection.
It's unclear if the police were alerted to the presence of monkey knife fights aboard the boat.
But wow...15 people? I was on a 32-footer last week with four guys and we oft times had to maneuver in close quarters. Then again, we were usually casting from the same side of the boat.
Police said they used pepper spray to get Benson to a Travis County deputy's car.

Benson was the fourth pick in the 2005 draft.
As a fan of both the Longhorns and the Bears, I'm pretty qualified to describe Benson as a bust. In three seasons, he has less than 1,500 yards rushing and ten touchdowns. Unfortunately, as golden an opportunity as this is to cut him loose, the Bears would take a $6 million salary cap hit if they did so.
And however will they re-sign Cade McNown if that happens?
CHI won’t cut Benson, but the Bears didn’t spend a 2nd round pick on Forte because they thought he had a nice ass.
You lose serious points for even mentioning McNown. That sentence, by the way, is the first time “points” and “McNown” have ever appeared together.
