    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

    A Jaguars defensive end was arrested Sunday night, accused of racing, reckless driving, prohibited use of flashing lights and drug possession.

    According to the arrest report, an officer saw Bobby McCray, 25, in a Dodge SUV with flashing blue and white lights speeding south at 92 mph with two other vehicles on state Road 9A.

    The officer pulled over and saw McCray's car and two others speed by.

    "It's illegal to use these lights, if you're not police or law enforcement," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.

    The police report states that one of cars began a lane change and McCray's car also began a lane change, causing the vehicles to almost hit each other.

    After he was stopped on Town Center Parkway, police said McCray told the officer he had come across one of his teammates while driving and "was just playing around."

    "Mr. McCray simply said he had seen a couple of teammates and was just playing around. It's very dangerous to play around at 92 mph on highway when there are other cars in the area that are possibly carrying children," Jefferson said.

    The officer also said he found two prescription pills that police later identified as hydrocodone -- a schedule III narcotic -- and Tylenol. McCray told the officer the Jaguars team physician or trainer gave him the pills after Sunday's game in Houston, but he could not produce a prescription for the medication.

    "Regardless of where the pills came from, they were illegal -- he was not allowed to have them," Jefferson said.

    The Jaguars drafted McCray, a graduate of the University of Florida, in the seventh round in 2004. According to the Jaguars' Web site, he played in all 16 games in 2005 and was credited with 23 tackles and 5.5 sacks.

    McCray was booked into jail.

    In the locker room after Monday's practice, McCray said he had a rough day.

    "I didn't have them in a prescription capsule. I guess that's against the law. So, I had to abide by it. He took me in for a controlled substance, because I guess it is illegal and I have to abide by the law," McCray said. "It was an overall rough day. We got it handed to us out of town, and then coming back and experiencing this."

    The sheriff's office said it was investigating to determine the two other vehicles involved in the Sunday night's incident.

    This is the third Jaguars player arrested so far this season
