— -- Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb was arrested on DUI charges last month in Arizona after hitting another vehicle at a traffic light, according to a police statement released Tuesday.

McNabb was arrested just before midnight on June 28 by police in Gilbert, Arizona, after rear-ending the other car, which was stopped at the traffic light.

It marks the second time in less than two years that McNabb has been arrested on DUI charges.

The statement from the Gilbert police did not specify whether McNabb took a field sobriety test and did not state what his blood-alcohol level was.

McNabb, 38, was taken to a holding facility before being cited and released, according to the police statement. The six-time Pro Bowler also served a one-day jail sentence last year following a 2013 arrest on misdemeanor DUI charges in Arizona.

McNabb played 13 years in the NFL after being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with the second overall pick in 1999. He led the Eagles to four straight NFC Championship Games from the 2001 to 2004 seasons, and one Super Bowl berth that ended in a 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots in 2005.

McNabb also played for the Washington Redskins in 2010 and Minnesota Vikings in 2011 before retiring.
