Ex-NFL Player Kellen Winslow II Arrested On Suspicion Of Burglary

ENCINITAS, CA – Former NFL player Kellen Winslow II, son of Chargers Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, was arrested Thursday in connection with a residential burglary in Encinitas.

Deputies responded to a report of a possible burglary around 2:40 p.m. at Park Encinitas Mobile Home Park on El Camino Real. The person who reported the incident confronted the man – later identified as Winslow – because he did not recognize him, according to Lt. Karen Stubkjaer of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

After being confronted, Winslow left the scene in a black SUV and deputies spotted him a short distance from the mobile home park, she said. Winslow, 34, was arrested on suspicion of residential burglary and booked into the Vista Detention Facility.

Winslow grew up in San Diego and graduated from Scripps Ranch High School. He went on to play college football at the University of Miami. Winslow was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the sixth pick in the 2004 NFL Draft and played 10 seasons for five teams, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and New York Jets. He concluded his playing career in 2013.

Anyone with information about the incident was asked to call the North Coastal Patrol Station at 760-966-3500, or the Sheriff's Communication Center at 858-565-5200.
