Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice Arrested for Assault, Domestic Violence of his Fiance Janay Palmer in Atlantic City, NJ … Fiance Charged Too

 

What is going on with the NFL and violent crimes with its players … Another black eye for the NFL?

It would seem that no one taught Ray Rice that you are not supposed to hit girls.  Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was arrested last week on simple assault charges in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the alleged assault of his fiance. The video below from TMZ Rice can be seen dragging, what appears to be his unconscious, fiance out of an elevator after an altercation. Both Rice and his fiance, Janay Palmer, were charged with simple assault-domestic violence. Hmm, “simple assault”, looks more like the knock out game. Rice’s fiance appears to be out, off her feet in the video.

According to an Atlantic City police statement, police reviewed surveillance footage and “it appeared both parties were involved in a physical altercation. The complaint summons indicates that both Rice and Palmer struck each other with their hands.”

A police summons obtained by 11 News on Wednesday reads Rice assaulted Palmer “specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious at the Revel casino.”

The summons also stated that Palmer attempted to “cause bodily injury to Raymell Rice, specifically by striking him with her hand while at the Revel casino.”

Rice and Palmer were charged with simple assault-domestic violence and were both released on a summons to appear in court.

The police summons can be read HERE.

The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office released the following statement on the incident.

“The domestic violence incident in Atlantic City involving Ray Rice has been referred to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office for review. The Atlantic City Police Department has requested the Prosecutor’s Office review the case to ensure all appropriate charges are considered. The matter remains under investigation by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office in conjunction with the Atlantic City Police Department. At the present time, Mr. Rice remains charged with simple assault, a disorderly person’s offense.”

      We are back to the Code of Conduct again and how these players act off and on the field.

      The gf most likely went ballastic when she discovered all the other hook ups Rice had while on the road.

      It’s not good and the Coaches all turn their heads the other way.

      Where has a lot of the class and respect from the NFL gone? Out the window and they sold out YEARS AGO.

      Too bad Vince Lomabardi could not have been cloned.
