Darin Gantt reports for Pro Football Talk that Steelers RB Chris Rainey has been arrested for simple battery on charges of slapping his girlfriend in the face during an argument over a cell phone. According to Matt Watts of the Miami Herald:
Witnesses said Rainey went to the passenger door of the car and pulled the woman out of the car, slapping her in the face. They both fell to the ground, then he chased her to try to get the phone back, grabbing her purse and causing both to fall again. Neither the woman nor Rainey had any reported injuries.
It seems like in the recent years the official start of the NFL Offseason for non-playoff teams means a lot of arrests for NFL players. Let’s hope that this is the anomaly and not the norm for this year.
To quote Willie D “If you gotta beat her, you don’t need her.”
