[Steinberg] was arrested after police received a call about a man yelling on Coast Highway around 7:45 p.m. Oct. 22. ...
Newport Beach Sgt. Evan Sailor said in an E-mail that police found Steinberg laying down in the dirt and grass near Newport Auto Center on East Coast Highway.
Sailor said police spoke to Steinberg, who was displaying symptoms of intoxication and was having trouble speaking. He was arrested for public drunkenness and released on his own recognizance.
Perhaps Steinberg was taking his John Daly Halloween get-up on a trial run. Or, more likely, he had just left Leinart's place after setting the beer bong hot tub record. Or maybe he just got loaded and wandered into traffic. It happens.

Hey, Leigh, just a thought.
