Former Bucs and Raiders defensive lineman Warren Sapp was arrested Saturday following an alleged domestic violence incident at a Miami Beach hotel, police
Sapp was charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery and is expected to appear before a Miami-Dade County judge today.
Shortly after police officials confirmed the charge, NFL Network spokesman Dennis Johnson said Sapp - who is an analyst - wouldn't be part of the Super Bowl coverage for today's game.
The incident occurred early Saturday at the Shore Club hotel, according to a police news release.
The victim had a swollen knee and bruises on her neck, according to an arrest affidavit. She told detectives that she was partying with Sapp and her friends at the hotel and asked for his room key when she grew tired. Sapp reportedly woke up the victim a few hours later and they started to argue. She told investigators that Sapp started to choke her and pushed her down on a couch.
As the argument escalated, Sapp grabbed the woman by her shirt and neck and threw her down the affidavit states.
