Detroit Lions linebacker Trevor Bates was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation in New York early Saturday morning after allegedly refusing to pay cab fare and punching a police officer during his arrest, according to multiple reports.
“We are aware of the arrest of Trevor Bates earlier today in New York,” Lions general manager Bob Quinn wrote in a statement. “We have not spoken to Trevor as of yet and are still in the process of gathering more information. The Detroit Lions will have no further comment at this time.
