Benson said he will surrender to authorities on Oct. 17, which is the Monday of Cincinnati's bye week. ''This was a difficult decision for Mr. Benson,'' said Sam Bassett, the running back's attorney. ''His priority right now is to get back to work and put these legal matters behind him.''Benson was arrested in 2010 for allegedly punching a bar employee in Austin, an incident that earned him a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last year but resulted in no punishment. He pleaded no contest to a charge of assault with injury in that case. He also was arrested last month for allegedly punching a former roommate in downtown Austin. He pleaded no contest to a charge of assault with bodily injury with family violence, and that will be dismissed if he performs 30 hours of community service and pays an undisclosed amount of restitution to the victim.
