The Santa Clara District Attorney’s office announced on Thursday that San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will be charged with felony domestic violence with an allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury, forcefully attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime, felony possession of an assault weapon, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of a large capacity weapon magazine. If convicted of all charges, he faces at least 11 years in prison.
The DA released details below, but Cam Inman has more specifics.

The 49ers comments over the past two months since Foster’s arrest have suggested they either did not think he would be charged, or it would not be quite this serious.
