Seahawks were not aware of alleged Michael Bennett incident at Super Bowl that led to his indictment | The News Tribune

Former Seahawks Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett has been indicted by a grand jury in Houston for a felony charge of allegedly abusing an elderly woman who was working on the security detail at last year's Super Bowl there.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

A Harris County (Texas) grand jury announced the indictment Friday. Prosecutors there are alleging the 32-year-old Bennett, who starred for the Seahawks until his trade to the Philadelphia Eagles this month, injured a 66-year-old woman, a paraplegic, by shoving past her to get to his brother Martellus moments after he won Super Bowl 51 with the New England Patriots on Feb.
