#3 Intoxicated NFL player beats his fiancée, drags her out of a lift

Rice beat his fiancee when drunk

Former NFL player Ray Rice and his then fiancée, Janay Palmer, had no idea that they were under CCTV surveillance when Rice assaulted Palmer.

Rice was arrested on February 2014, on charges of assaulting his fiancee; he even knocked her out. Both of them were found to be highly intoxicated during the incident.

The video footage of the incident, later posted on TMZ, shows Rice dragging Palmer out of a lift after hitting her. Rice was indicted of third-degree aggravated assault with the possibility of a three-year prison term.

Rice’s inclination towards domestic violence was treated as a serious matter by the court, but the criminal charges were dropped later after Rice agreed to undergo counselling under the court’s supervision.
