Miami Dolphins linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested for battery in Miami, FL early Saturday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The details surrounding the arrest are unclear -- but according to ProFootballTalk, the Dolphins are planning to release him as a result of the incident.
TMZ Sports obtained Rey's booking information -- 6'2 inches, 350 lbs (guessing this is supposed to be 250) -- and he was booked at 12:46 AM. His bond has been set at $1,500.
Maualuga has been in trouble with the law before -- he's been convicted of drunk driving stemming from a 2010 incident.
