Frank Gore, the former 49er and the third-leading rusher in NFL history, was charged in what Atlantic City, New Jersey, police say is a domestic violence incident.
Gore was charged with simple assault, the police said in a statement late Tuesday evening.
According to the statement, cops were called to an Atlantic City hotel in July and found a 28-year-old woman talking to hotel security. Though no charges were pressed at the time, "an ensuing investigation resulted in Franklin Gore being charged with simple assault related to the domestic violence incident," according to the Atlantic City police.
