DEL RIO, Texas - A former NFL cheerleader and winner of “The Bachelor” is out of jail after being arrested in a southwest border-town bar for unruly behavior.

Mary Delgado, who accepted a televised proposal from professional bass fisherman Byron Velvick on 2004’s “The Bachelor,” was arrested in Del Rio after refusing to leave a local bar.

Delgado, 41, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and resisting arrest. She was released about an hour later.

It’s unclear if the former Buccaneers cheerleader had an attorney. A telephone listing could not be found for Delgado’s home state of Florida, where she was arrested last year on a charge that she struck a man she lived with.
