Ex-Jet John Abraham charged with misdemeanor battery: report

Former Jets defensive end John Abraham — who also played for the Falcons and Cardinals — has been charged with misdemeanor battery in Brookhaven, Ga., for an incident at a strip club last year, according to CBS46 in Atlanta.

Brookhaven police reportedly responded to Northside Hospital on the afternoon of Feb. 28, 2014 to investigate an assault that took place early that morning at the Pink Pony strip club, where Abraham got into an altercation with one of his “known associates,” CBS46 reported.

The alleged victim was assaulted by Abraham after approaching him to talk out an issue, according to CBS46.
