Former New England Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest was arrested on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon in Los Angeles on Monday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told local media that McGinest turned himself in early Monday morning for an alleged incident that took place at a West Hollywood nightclub earlier in December. He provided a statement, was charged and then released on $30,000 bond, per the reports. Authorities didn't release further details of the alleged assault.
McGinest, 51, played 15 NFL seasons, 12 of them with the Patriots from 1994-2005.
