CALGARY – Police have arrested former Calgary Stampeders star Joffrey Reynolds, after issuing a warrant for his arrest.

He was recently sentenced to 90 days in jail for assaulting his one-time girlfriend, and is supposed to serve his time on weekends.

Officials announced on Thursday night that Reynolds, 33, was being sought on four counts of breaching his current probation for allegedly not abiding by his house arrest and breaking curfew.

Police say Reynolds was arrested in downtown Calgary at 9 a.m. on Friday.

Reynolds is from Texas and played college football at the University of Houston. He played eight years for the Calgary Stampeders and was the team’s all-time leading rusher with 9,213 yards.
He was named a CFL all-star four times and won a Grey Cup championship with the Stampeders in 2008 before his release in 2012.

Since his conviction, he has been working on a construction site.

He faces two years of probation once he completes his sentence.
