LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Arkansas running back Cedric Cobbs was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, speeding and marijuana possession. <br> <br> He also was charged Tuesday night with having no insurance and not using his seat belt. <br> <br> The player was released on his own recognizance Wednesday, Pulaski County Sheriff&#39;s Deputy Rochorn Thompson said. Wednesday was Cobbs&#39; 21st birthday. <br> <br> Cobbs was stopped for speeding at about 11:40 p.m., going 73 mph in a 60 mph zone, Arkansas State Police reported. Riding in Cobbs&#39; car were Julius Harris and Anthony Dewayne Johnson, police said. They were not charged. <br> <br> University athletic officials had no immediate comment. <br> <br> Two years ago, Cobbs starred for Arkansas in a 27-6 victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl. He spent most of this year&#39;s Cotton Bowl on the sideline because of a bad back. <br> <br> After Arkansas&#39; 10-3 loss to Oklahoma, Cobbs said he would remain in school rather than enter the NFL draft. <br> <br> <br>
