Warren Sapp Arrested For Assault!

Warren Sapp was arrested on Saturday, with the arrest stemming from an alleged assault. Warren Sapp was arrested while in Florida for Super Bowl XLIV, where he was supposed to serve as a correspondent for the big game. It all went down at about 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 6th when he is accused of attacking his girlfriend. He then found himself charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery from the incident, and wound up in jail as a result. Sapp has already been released on bail, and now his lawyer told a reporter from TMZ that everyone should reserve judgment on this case until all of the facts come out.

With Warren Sapp being arrested, his employer (NFL Network) suspended him from the network as they try to figure out exactly what took place. The suspension was denoted as "pending further investigation", but it really boils down to two different scenarios in the future of Warren Sapp. If he did this, and ends up facing jail time, he will probably be released from the network, but if it turns out he is completely innocent, NFL Network will probably strongly consider simply removing the suspension. The allegations aren't good though, as Sapp's girlfriend is alleging that he "grabbed her and began to choke her", before throwing her out of a room.

This is a big shock to fans of Warren Sapp, who may have seen his interview during an episode of Pardon the Interruption earlier this week. In that interview he talked about how he had "removed his claws", and acted like he was just a big teddy bear now. Most of his reporting duties have shown him as just that, and even though he was a really tough defender when he was an NFL player, it had seemed like he had become an extremely mellow player since he left the league. Now all he is getting is bad press, and for his sake he needs to let people know what happened before this turns into a whole new Tiger Woods situation.

Warren Sapp won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and could be a future NFL Hall of Fame player.
