The San Francisco 49ers announced Sunday morning that they released linebacker Reuben Foster following his arrest Saturday night for suspected domestic battery of his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Elissa Ennis.
Foster, 24, was arrested by Tampa Police just after 9 p.m. Eastern time at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, the night before the 49ers were scheduled to play the Buccaneers. Foster was charged with first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence and spent the night in jail.
A Hillborough County criminal affidavit confirms the alleged victim was Ennis, who accused the linebacker of domestic violence during an incident in February at their shared home in Los Gatos, Calif.
