Broncos director of player personnel apologizes after weekend arrest on suspicion of DUI
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Denver Broncos director of player personnel Matt Russell is apologizing for his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
State troopers say Russell was arrested Saturday after rear-ending a Breckenridge police officer's SUV that had stopped on the shoulder of Colorado 9 to pull over Russell, who was suspected of driving drunk. Russell and the officer were taken to hospitals and released.
Town spokeswoman Brodie Boilard says Russell had been in a minor accident earlier Saturday, and the other driver called police after suspecting Russell was intoxicated.

Russell apologized in a statement released Monday by the Broncos, who said the organization is "extremely disappointed."
