Big Score 1 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 LOS ANGELES -- Bengals defensive end Frostee Rucker has been charged with two counts of spousal battery and vandalism. The misdemeanor charges were filed Tuesday after an alleged fight between Rucker and his girlfriend at a party he was hosting in Los Angeles last August, said Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the city attorney's office. Rucker's girlfriend, whose name wasn't released, sustained minor injuries in the fight, Mateljan said. The woman's Blackberry and a cell phone were damaged, he said. There is no warrant for Rucker's arrest. Mateljan said the former Southern California standout was sent a letter requesting his or his lawyer's appearance at an arraignment July 13 in Superior Court. If convicted, Rucker could face up to three years in county jail. Rucker denies the charges, his attorney said. "We're in the process of investigating these charges and intend to uncover evidence which we believe will totally exonerate that," attorney Leonard Levine said. "When we do so, we'll provide evidence to the city attorney's office and ask them to dismiss all charges." A Bengals spokesman said the team does not comment on pending legal matters. Rucker is the third Bengals player to face criminal charges recently. Wide receiver Chris Henry turned himself in to authorities last week after he was charged with providing alcohol to underage girls. Linebacker A.J. Nicholson was charged earlier this month with burglarizing the apartment of a former Florida State teammate. Three & counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 This happened last August? That's what is so strange. Marv had made a point to say the Bengals would only be drafting high character guys, yet they spend a 3rd on a guy they knew had this hanging over his head.

Pitbull739 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Santonio who? The Bengals rubbed off on him when he was at The OSU. Kinda like what Jamal's cell mate did to him last summer. Edited June 25, 2006 by Pitbull739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxfactor Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Santonio who? I have to admit the division may want to change their name back to the AFC Central. Central Lockup that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 All this talk about Marv Lewis being this great coach needs to die down a little bit. Yes, he has turned the franchise around, but to call a guy who can't keep his players in line great is a disservice to the real greats. This guy runs his team like Berry Switzer.
