The San Francisco 49ers announced the release of linebacker Reuben Foster on Sunday morning after he was arrested Saturday night on a domestic violence charge.
Foster was arrested at the Niners' team hotel in Florida ahead of Sunday's Week 12 road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per ESPN.com.
The Tampa Police Department released a statement saying a woman alleged Foster "slapped her phone out of her hand, pushed her in the chest area and slapped her with an open hand on the right side of her face," according to the ESPN.
