SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Wednesday, a jail spokesman said.
Garcia, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was booked into the Santa Clara County jail at about 3:30 a.m., spokesman Mark Cursi said. He was released six hours later, Cursi said.
"He'll be assessed, and when it's determined he can care for himself, he'll be released on a written promise to appear in court," Cursi said.
He is scheduled to make a court appearance March 1, according to the Santa Clara County district attorney's office.
Garcia was pulled over by San Jose State University police near campus, Cursi said. He had attended the San Jose Sharks' game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.
Garcia was pulled over for "erratic operation," campus police said in a statement. He had one other adult male and two adult females as passengers, according to the police report.
The statement said preliminary results showed a blood alcohol level above the legal limit, but that final results would not be available for about two weeks.
Garcia attended San Jose State and lives in San Jose. He has been the 49ers' starting quarterback since Steve Young retired after the 1999 season.
Calls to the 49ers were not immediately returned.

Im sorry to hear about that mayn but that's not Jeff Garcia's fault! But no one on here tell me that they have never driven home from a club after having a few drinks (You dont know your blood alcohol level). Alot of people that are involed in accidents due to drinking and driving are hit by idiots who are just plain wasted on the road. All it takes is 3 beers to be over .09 and Im sure most of us can drive fine with 3 beers but if you get caught you go to jail. The most important thing is that no one was hurt.
Dude looks pretty wasted.
When you're a professional athlete, you can't be out there drinkin' and driving.
Makes you a prime target...especially to some lowly campus police.
More Charges Pending-----
The story hasn't broke yet, but my sources tell me that the campus police got so excited when they busted him that they became erect.
Garcia offered them both fellatio, but the police denied him.
He will also be charged with prostition and bribery of a police officer.
