Police in Baltimore arrested Ravens rookie linebacker Tony Feinand charged him with assaulting a police officer in an incident on Sunday.
The Baltimore Sun reported that Fein allegedly pushed a police officer in Baltimore's Inner Harbor when police responded to an incident at a local restaurant. They were investigating a report of a group of men passing around an object that looked like a weapon.
Fein allegedly did not respond to police officers' directive for him to stand. The Sun reported that no gun was found, and the object turned out to be a cell phone.
Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne issued a statement supporting Fein on Sunday night.
"Like all citizens, Tony will get his due process and have his opportunity to explain," Byrne said. "There are two sides to every story."
Fein, 27, joined the Ravens as a free agent after going undrafted. He is a former marine who served as a recon scout in Iraq.
Of his responsibilities as a recon scout, he told the Sun:
"You're out there assessing what the enemy has, the capabilities, the numbers and stuff like that. Football gets tough, with the heat and physical demands. But at least I know I'm going to be alive today. And tomorrow."
