Columbus Aviators Coach Ted Ginn Jr. Charged With DWI in Texas, Misses Game

League officials are reviewing the case for possible discipline.

Overview

  • Euless police stopped Ginn at 12:58 a.m. Saturday in the 100 block of W. Euless Blvd. for a wide right turn and failure to yield, conducted field sobriety tests, and arrested him on a Class B misdemeanor DWI charge.
  • Tarrant County records show he was booked Saturday afternoon and released that evening on a $1,000 bond, and a passenger in his car was not taken into custody.
  • After the arrest, the UFL assigned offensive coordinator Todd Haley to lead the Aviators on Sunday against the Dallas Renegades, and Columbus lost 28–23.
  • Ginn posted an apology on X on Sunday saying he made a serious mistake, accepted full responsibility, and would work to regain trust.
  • The criminal case and the league’s review remain open, and any further discipline has not been announced for the first‑year UFL head coach and former 14‑year NFL player.
