Free agent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was in custody Thursday morning in Denver on charges stemming from a single-car crash earlier this month, according to multiple reports.

Thomas was being held for investigation of vehicular assault, reckless driving and driving without insurance.

On Feb. 16, Thomas, 31, was behind the wheel when he lost control of his vehicle, causing it to roll over. He and a male passenger sustained minor injuries. The second passenger, a woman, suffered more serious injuries that weren’t considered to be life-threatening.

Initial indications from police were that neither drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.

Thomas was the first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2010 and had four Pro Bowl seasons there. He was traded to the Houston Texans midway through last season.

He suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in Week 16. The Texans released him earlier this month.
