Former NFL player and Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was arrested Wednesday morning in Pennsylvania on a simple assault charge after Pryor allegedly struck a woman and damaged her car following an argument, according to a criminal complaint.

Pryor was also charged with harassment and criminal mischief, according to the complaint.

According to the police affidavit obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, authorities were called to Pryor's house around 1 a.m. after he and Shalaya Briston had both returned from different bars.

While out, the two got into an argument through text messages, the criminal complaint says, with Pryor calling her cell phone 50 times and leaving 30 unanswered messages.
