South Africa Test batsman Herschelle Gibbs spent Thursday night in jail after being arrested following a breath test.
Gibbs's lawyer Peter Whelan told Reuters on Friday that the player had been stopped by police while driving in Cape Town the previous night.
"He was pulled over and breathalysed," Whelan said.
"The police have yet to tell me what charge he was arrested on."
Gibbs recently signed up to play for Hyderabad in the inaugural Indian Premier League, the multi-million dollar Twenty20 event which begins on April 18, in a deal worth $575,000 dollars.
No stranger to controversy, he was banned for six months over his role in a match-fixing scandal and was also caught smoking cannabis during a tour to the West Indies.
