The Travis County Attorney's Office and the LCRA have chosen to withhold audio taken during the arrest of Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson earlier this month. Benson was arrested by LCRA police officers the night of May 3rd after they suspected him of boating while intoxicated.
The former University of Texas football star denies the charges.
KXAN learned audio, not video, was recorded during Benson's arrest after we issued an open records request to the LCRA for any video of the arrest. We were told the investigation was handed over to the Travis County Attorney's Office and that not video was taken, only audio.

But what about the public’s desire to find out whether the police are mistreating citizens? Benson has claimed he was treated badly by the officers who arrested him for boating while intoxicated, and the audio could shed light on whether Benson’s claims are valid.
