Trevor Bates
This past season was a lousy one for the Lions.
Now, the post season isn't looking so great either for Detroit Lions linebacker Trevor Bates, 25, who is accused of punching a police officer after being arrested for skipping a cab fare early Saturday morning in New York, Fox 2 reports.
While in custody, Bates allegedly went into a rage and punched a sergeant.
Bates faces charges including assault, resisting arrest, theft of services and obstructing governmental administration after police were called around 1:30 a.m. to a hotel near LaGuardia Airport, said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, WXYZ reports.
He's under contract through next season.
