Ex-49er Dana Stubblefield once told police he kicked girlfriend to stop her from feeding newborn

SAN JOSE -- Former San Francisco 49er Dana Stubblefield, who on Monday was charged with raping a developmentally disabled woman, once admitted to police he kicked a girlfriend who was trying to feed their newborn daughter "because she didn't need to be fed at this time of the morning."

Stubblefield was not arrested in the incident, according to civil court documents obtained Wednesday regarding the incident on Sept. 11, 1996. Stubblefield's girlfriend at the time told police she did not want him arrested for battery because she feared his employers at the time, the 49ers, would find out and it would damage his public reputation.
