New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been charged with domestic assault and battery, making him the second Pats star to face criminal charges this month.
The 26-year-old will be arraigned in February on one count of assault and battery on an intimate partner, Attleboro District Court records show. His attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
The misdemeanor charge stems from an Aug. 8 incident at Barmore’s home in Mansfield, according to charging documents. Barmore had purportedly been dating the alleged victim on and off for several years, and the woman told Mansfield police the football player physically assaulted her when he was “in a bad mood,” court documents state.
