MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard is facing a domestic battery charge after his arrest on Sunday night.
Howard, 26, was arrested by Davie police at his home following an argument over the purchase of a purse by the mother of his three children.
Police said the bedroom argument turned physical when Howard grabbed both of her arms and pushed her back against a mirrored glass wall in the hallway of their bedroom.
Howard then let her go, causing her to fall to the floor on her right arm, landing on his walking crutch, according to the report.
