Warren Sapp is not having a good year.
Sapp, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders defensive tackle who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was reportedly arrested for the second time this year, and this time he was charged with three counts of battery constituting domestic violence. He is accused of biting his girlfriend's finger and stepping on her head, among other things. TMZ Sports broke that story on Thursday. A search of the Clark County court records showed that Warren Sapp was charged with three counts of domestic battery on Thursday.
Sapp was arrested in February for soliciting a prostitute. He was fired from the NFL Network after that. Sapp reached a plea deal in that case in which he had to complete two classes, at which point court records indicated the misdemeanor charges would be dropped, the AP reported.
According to TMZ, which cites the police report, the domestic violence incident happened in Las Vegas on April 28. Sapp and his longtime girlfriend argued at the M Resort and Sapp threw a margarita in her face, the report said. The couple left to her condo, and Sapp is accused of biting her middle finger after his girlfriend asked that he get out of the car, according to TMZ's report. Sapp got out of the car, but eventually got back in and they ended up at his girlfriend's condo.
According to TMZ, at the condo Sapp threw a belt at his girlfriend, she threw it back at him, and she ended up on the floor. That's when the alleged victim claimed Sapp stepped on her face wearing white Jordan sandals. According to TMZ's story, she had bruises on her lower lip, shoulders, legs, and a bruise on one of her temples with a checkerboard imprint on it. Sapp's girlfriend also told investigators she might have suffered a concussion, TMZ said.
Sapp's initial appearance in court is scheduled for July 23, according to the Clark County courts site.
