MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Former Wisconsin running back P.J. Hill won't face criminal charges after being accused of leading police on a short chase in Madison last month while driving drunk.

The 22-year-old Hill instead was ticketed for first-offense drunken driving, reckless driving, refusing to take a Breathalyzer test and driving without headlights.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Former Wisconsin running back P.J. Hill has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and leading police on a chase.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports Hill, 22, was arrested around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

The newspaper, citing court documents, says police were called to a campus-area gas station after a vehicle hit a guard rail and left. Police spotted the car at a traffic light.

The driver fled. Police gave chase until the car crashed into a retaining wall and stopped. Hill was arrested at gunpoint.

Hill was released from jail Monday on a signature bond. His attorney didn't immediately return messages Monday evening.

Hill is the third-leading rusher in Wisconsin history. He planned to enter this year's NFL draft.
