Former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson was arrested early Sunday morning after an off-duty police officer witnessed him sniffing cocaine in the men’s room of a Buckhead bar, Atlanta police said.
Anderson, 36, and Mark Daniel Hudson, 20, both of Duluth, were in the same stall inside the men’s room at Peachtree Tavern about 3 a.m., sniffing powder cocaine off the toilet tank, said police spokesman Otis Redmond.

A tavern patron alerted an off-duty Atlanta police officer to possible illegal drug use inside the restroom, he said.
<!--startclickprintinclude--><!--begintext--> “The patron had heard what he thought was sniffing from inside the stall and told the off-duty officer,” Redmond said. “The officer went into the restroom, heard the same sniffing and peered over the stall door. He saw Jamal Anderson and Mark Hudson sniffing two lines of powdered cocaine off the back of the toilet.”
Police said they found a 1-inch square bag of cocaine and a marijuana cigarette inside Anderson’s pocket. The men were arrested without incident and booked into the Fulton County Jail for felony possession of cocaine. Anderson was also cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Both men will be held overnight pending a first appearance in Magistrate Court at 11 a.m. Monday, said jail spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan.
Redmond said the tavern could be investigated for allowing Hudson, who is underage, inside the bar.
Anderson was in attendance Nov. 16 when the Falcons honored the 1998 Super Bowl team at half time of the game against Denver.
During the 1998 season, Anderson rushed for a franchise-record 1,846 during to help power the Falcons to their only Super Bowl appearance. He celebrated his long runs and touchdown scores by doing the “Dirty Bird” dance that was created by teammate O.J. Santiago.
He suffered a knee injury that required surgery and only had two rushes the following season. Overall, he played eight seasons with the Falcons, from 1994 to 2001, before a second knee injury ended his career.
He worked as an NFL analyst for ESPN’s First Take this past season. George McNeilly, senior director of communications at ESPN, declined comment on Sunday, according to ESPN.com.
