Ryan Leaf's May arrest was not the result of the former San Diego Chargers quarterback relapsing into substance use, his attorney told TMZ Sports.

David Greenberg, who represents Leaf, said his client remains "100 percent sober" after going through a rehabilitation process five years ago.

Leaf was booked on a charge of domestic battery May 22 in Palm Desert, California, and formally charged with two misdemeanors earlier this week. Greenberg told TMZ the incident was a "minor dispute."

"Nobody was injured," Greenberg said. "There was no allegation of any kind of weapon or anything like that.
