Redskins pass rusher Junior Galette was arrested Friday in Biloxi, Miss., on charges of disorderly conduct and failure to comply with police orders, reports WLOX. Galette’s attorney confirmed the arrest to Nick Underhill and Ramon Antonio Vargas of The Advocate, adding that his client had quickly bailed out, but he didn’t offer further details.
This isn’t the first time Galette, 29, has run afoul of the law during his NFL career. Galette was arrested and booked on one count of misdemeanor simple battery related to domestic violence back in January 2015, when he was a member of the Saints. Video of a man who appeared to be Galette striking a woman in 2013 then surfaced in June 2015, and though no charges were filed, the Saints released him a month later and absorbed serious cap penalties in the process.
After the Saints cut ties with Galette, he quickly caught on with Washington. However, he hasn’t played a down for the team yet on account of tearing his left Achilles tendon two summers ago and his right Achilles last year. The league also hit Galette with a two-game ban in 2015 stemming from his domestic incident from that year. The two-time double-digit sack artist will attempt to return to action next season, but it’s possible his latest arrest will lead to another suspension, further delaying his comeback.
idiot…absolute moron…all that talent, even tho he’s injury-prone, n he can’t stay out of trouble long enuff 2 get on the field, n he’s gonna thro away a multi-million dollar contract b/c he wanted 2 get tanked…jacka$$
These our the guys are kids are looking up to and they think they can still be irresponsible Totally disappointed
I can imagine how that stop went down,
“You’re stopping me because im black!”
Well he is in Mississippi WTF.
As a pass rusher who depends on get off and first step burst, 2 Achilles tears signals the beginning of the end. Hard to rush the passer when you can’t move.
