WICHITA, Kan. (AP/CBSDFW.COM) — Former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle is jailed in Kansas on suspicion of aggravated battery, drug possession and criminal damage to property.

An official at the Sedgwick County Jail in Randle's hometown of Wichita says the 24-year-old was arrested and booked around 8:15 a.m. Sunday. Bond is set at $100,000. It wasn't immediately clear if Randle had an attorney.

Randle allegedly hit three people with his car, police say. The three, who all had minor injuries, then went into a home, and Randle forced his way in, according to investigators.

Randle has had a string of run-ins with the law, beginning with a 2014 shoplifting arrest. He's also charged in neighboring Sumner County in a November disturbance at a casino. Earlier this month, he was arrested in Irving, Texas, after it was determined he was wanted for speeding.

The Cowboys released him last fall.

Four days ago, Randle posted a message on his Twitter account saying, "Don't let your past mess up your future."
