.Ravens Rookie Arrested
According to the Associated Press, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tony Fein was arrested Sunday and charged with assaulting a police officer.
Fein, an undrafted rookie from Mississippi and an Army veteran who served in Iraq, reportedly was eating dinner at an Inner Harbor restaurant when a security officer thought he saw Fein give a handgun to a friend. It actually was a cell phone, the AP reported.
Fein pushed the officer with one hand when the officer loudly told him to stand up and turn around, and the officer fell to the ground and suffered an elbow injury, according to the AP account.
"Like all citizens, Tony will get his due process and have his opportunity to explain," Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said in a written statement released by the team. "There are two sides to every story."
