Spellman, 36, who played for Rancocas Valley High in Mount Holly, N.J., was booked on complaints of eluding, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest and driving without a license, jail records show. His bond was set at $10,700.

The chase began at 12:23 p.m. after officers responded to a disturbance at a convenience store in midtown Tulsa, police spokesman Leland Ashley said. When officers arrived, Spellman got into a Chrysler Pacifica and drove away, Ashley said. After stopping, police said Spellman refused to get out of the car for about 20 minutes until officers fired "pepper bullets" through the windows.

Spellman played nine seasons in the NFL for Chicago, Detroit and Dallas. He has a history of treatment for mental illness and was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation after his involvement in a standoff with police in 1998.
