METAIRIE, La. -- A new civil lawsuit has been filed against Washington Redskins linebacker Junior Galette by the woman who accused him of injuring her while forcibly removing her from his home in January.
Galette was arrested and charged with misdemeanor simple battery/domestic violence over the incident in Kenner, Louisiana, when he was a member of the New Orleans Saints. Charges were dropped in February following an investigation.
Galette was recently suspended two games by the NFL for his role in the incident -- which he served while on injured reserve with a torn Achilles.
