Disgraced former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was formally charged with four felonies following allegations that he burglarized two homes to steal prescription drugs.

The ex-Charger was arrested twice in his hometown of Great Falls, Mont., in a matter of days at the turn of the month in relation to the separate alleged thefts.

He was first held March 29 on burglary, theft and drug charges after claims he stole pills of the sedative oxycodone from an acquaintance's home. The charging documents said Leaf admitted the theft before being released.

He was arrested again April 1 following claims he robbed a second address within two days of being freed on a $76,000 bond.

Two Great Falls residents said they returned home to find a man they later identified as Leaf inside the property. They reported him to the police after finding various prescription medications were missing.
