Retired NFL player and former Dancing With the Stars contestant Warren Sapp was arrested Saturday after reportedly attacking his girlfriend at Miami Beach’s Shore Club hotel. Usmagazine reports that police were called by Sapp’s girlfriend of two years (not named by authorities) around noon to report the 5 am attack, and was later taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center and treated for a swollen knee and bruising on her neck. According to Miami Beach police, the victim reported that she and Sapp became engaged in an argument about her hanging around other men, and that Sapp choked and pushed her down on the couch while they were arguing.
Sapp, 37, was in Miami to appear as an analyst for Super Bowl XLIV on the NFL Network. The network did release a statement saying that Sapp is relieved of his analyst duties for Sunday and will no longer appear on-air.
