Ben Roethlisberger Hires High Profile Private Detective

Ben Roethlisberger just added another elite member to his defense team -- a famous private investigator who's handled several high profile celebrity cases before.
Sources told TMZ that P.I. is Charles Mittelstadt who has worked as a lead investigator on behalf of NFL stars like Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis. Mittelstadt has also worked for rapper T.I. and convicted Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph.

Hiring a private investigator is a sign that the alleged victim is fair game. In this case, as already reported, law enforcement tells us alcohol was a factor.
