Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was arrested over the weekend after an alleged physical altercation in Atlantic City with his fiancee.
via Baltimore Sun:
Rice’s attorney Andrew Alperstein confirmed Rice was charged and released after what he described as allegations of a “very minor physical altercation” at Revel Casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Alperstein said a woman he identified as Rice’s fiancée was also charged and released in connection with the incident.
Rice, 27, was released on his own recognizance, Alperstein said.
The Ravens also released a statement:
“We are aware of the Friday night situation with Ray Rice and his fiancee. We have spoken with Ray, and know that they returned home together after being detained.”
Michael Diamondstein, a Philadelphia-based attorney, has been hired to represent Rice.
“We haven’t seen any charging documents yet,” Diamondstein said. “There was an argument that included Ray. I can’t give any specifics because we haven’t seen the document yet.”
“Once we’re able to go through the evidence, it should wind up to be little more than a misunderstanding,” Diamondstein said.
