Bengals' Alexander arrested amid search for missing father

Amid a search for his missing father, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander was arrested Tuesday night on one count of battery, according to Collier County Sheriff's Office records obtained by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Alexander's charge is a misdemeanor and he was released from jail on a $2,000 bond or pretrial release. He allegedly confronted a man who left his father, Jean Odney Alexandre, behind on a berry-picking trip in Florida, Pelissero reports.

The 26-year-old defender left Bengals training camp Monday as authorities began searching for his father.

"The only concern that Mackensie has right now is finding his father and the well-being of his father," his lawyers, Brian Pakett and Stacey Richman, said.

Alexander, a second-round pick in 2016, spent the first four years of his career with the Minnesota Vikings before signing a one-year contract with Cincinnati in March.
