In a post on X, Ginn described the situation as a “serious mistake” and he vowed to take full responsibility for his actions. Ginn, a former NFL wide receiver, was arrested by the Euless Police Department over the weekend and is facing a charge of driving while intoxicated. He was booked into Tarrant County jail on Saturday and released the same day.
“I’ve always believed in accountability and now it’s my turn to live that standard,” Ginn wrote. “I understand the responsibility that comes with being a leader & role model, and falling short of this is not something I take lightly. I’m committed to learning from this, making better decisions, and earning back the trust of my players, our organization, and the fans.”
Ginn’s team was in North Texas to face the Dallas Renegades on Sunday at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium. With Ginn unavailable to coach, Aviators offensive coordinator Todd Haley assumed the team’s head coaching duties against the Renegades.
Ginn said his focus remains on coaching the Aviators. The United Football League has not announced when Ginn will return to the Columbus team’s sidelines.
“I appreciate the support of my family and the United Football League, and I respect the process as it moves forward,” Ginn wrote. “My focus now is on taking the necessary steps to grow from this and represent the Columbus Aviators and this community the right way.”
