Damien Williams was arrested for battery
The arrest records from the Coconut Creek Police Department indicate that the former Kansas City Chiefs back had a dispute with the woman after they allegedly had a fight over their dog’s food. Reports indicate that it escalated from there and resulted in the victim sustaining physical injuries such as scratches and bruises.
The woman did not make a statement on the issue, but the 31-year-old former NFL star was immediately taken to jail. Damien Williams now awaits what penalties his future holds after the alleged incident.
Williams briefly suited up for the Arizona Cardinals in 2023. He is a former undrafted free agent that the Dolphins signed after the draft in 2014, and he spent a little bit of time there.
He is perhaps best known for his time with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was instrumental in their Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers. He scored multiple times and had a good case for winning MVP of the game.
He has since bounced around the league, but his NFL future may be concluded after this arrest as well as his recent inability to find a job with a team.
