Former Iowa defensive back Dwight Sistrunk, who signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been charged with possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. Sistrunk, a native of Dayton, Ohio, is a nephew of former Raider defensive end Otis Sistrunk.
The arrest was made in Iowa City. Federal agents said they found five ounces of cocaine and drug trafficking paraphernalia in his apartment. Police said Sistrunk bolted from the scene but was arrested a short time later.
Sistrunk was kept out of the Holiday Bowl last season for disciplinary reasons that Coach Hayden Fry did not explain.
