        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ryan Leaf&#8217;s latest run-in with the law saw the ESPN college football analyst and former NFL quarterback arrested Friday and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Palm Desert, California, <strong>according to the Riverside County Sheriff&#8217;s department</strong>.</p><p>Police only referred to the alleged victim as a spouse, former spouse, fiancee, dating partner or co-parent.</p><p>The 44-year-old Leaf was being held on $5,000 bail as of Saturday morning, and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.</p><p>Leaf is considered one of the biggest busts in NFL history after being selected No. 2 following Peyton Manning in the 1998 draft. He has often found himself in trouble since his career flamed out in 2001 after four seasons, in which he made just under $13 million, with the Chargers and Cowboys.</p><p>Leaf then began self-medicating with Vicodin and in 2009 was sentenced to 10 years of probation and fined $20,000 after facing drug and burglary charges in Texas.</p><p>Leaf then spent two years in prison in 2012 after breaking into a Montana home to steal prescription drugs, which was in violation of his Texas probation order.</p><p>A year later, Leaf was found guilty of “behavior that violated conditions of his drug treatment placement,&#8221; which included accusations of threatening a program staff member at the rehabilitation center. Leaf was sentenced to five years in prison but was released seven months later.</p><p>The former Washington State star has since worked to rebuild his reputation, and his road to recovery culminated in an ESPN gig ahead of the 2019 college football season.</p><p>Before his first TV appearance with ESPN, <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanDLeaf/status/1235708851414016001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1235708851414016001&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsports.yahoo.com%2Fryan-leaf-from-historic-draft-bust-to-jail-is-sober-and-cohosted-esp-ns-nfl-live-144031143.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leaf tweeted</a>, &#8220;How’s this for a story&#8230;2nd Pick in the 1998 NFL Draft. Crash &amp; Burn so bad many consider the biggest draft bust ever, goes to prison, chooses to get back up and carry on. 6 years later, employed by @espn living the dream and cohosting #nfllive for the 1st time today! #soberlife.&#8221;</p><p>Leaf, who was listed by police as 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, has been engaged to Anna Kleinsorge, a former Georgetown volleyball player, since 2017 and they have one child together. Leaf previously was married to Nicole Licia, a former Chargers cheerleader, but the two separated in 2003 and later divorced.</p>]]></content:encoded>
