Berry, who is from Harrisburg, was also arrested in that area June 23 on suspicion of DUI, failure to stop and render aid from an accident and other counts. He was set to enter a diversionary program in that case.
His second arrest was the latest bit of bad publicity during a troubled offseason for the Lions.
