Former New England Patriots linebacker and current NFL Network analyst Willie McGinest was arrested Monday in West Hollywood, California and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The charge was in connection to an Dec. 9 incident at a club in the area, authorities said. Witnesses identified McGinest as being involved in the alleged assault.
The 51-year-old McGinest arrived at the sheriff's station Monday to provide a statement and then was taken into custody. The sheriff's office said he posted $30,000 bond and was released later in the morning.
