MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins cornerback Ben Kelly was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after striking a parked Miami-Dade police car along a state highway.

Kelly was arrested Wednesday after his 2001 Toyota sport utility vehicle hit a parked police car at 6:30 a.m. on the southbound side of the Palmetto Expressway, Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Nelda Fonticiella said.

Kelly, reached at his home in Davie, declined comment.

Police said that he refused a roadside breathalyzer test and was arrested and detained at Turner Guilford Knight correctional center in Miami for more than eight hours. He was released after posting a $2,500 bond, jail spokeswoman Janelle Hall said.

The accident caused $200 in damage to the police car and $500 in damage to Kelly's SUV, Fonticiella said. No one was injured.

Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said coach Dave Wannstedt was on vacation and would meet with Kelly next week.

"We were just made aware of it (Thursday) morning," Greene said.

Neal Cornrich, Kelly's agent, did not immediately return a phone message.

Kelly, a punt returner, missed most of last season after he tore a ligament in his left knee in a September game against the New England Patriots. He finished the season with five punt returns for a 6.2 yard average.

He underwent knee surgery in October and took part in spring and summer workouts with the team.

The former Associated Press third-team All-American at Colorado was a third-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2000.
