METAIRIE, La. -- Former Super Bowl star Tracy Porter was arrested Tuesday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on charges of domestic battery and drug possession, police confirmed.

The arrest stemmed from an Oct. 5 incident, in which Porter and his girlfriend got into a physical altercation at a truck-driving school, where the alleged victim had gone to retrieve her keys from the ex-cornerback.

According to a Baton Rouge police spokesman, a verbal altercation between the two turned physical. The woman claimed Porter grabbed her arms and pushed her back against a vehicle before he then grabbed her around her neck and facial area.
