Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was hit with multiple charges, highlighted by family violence because of a June incident in Bateman's home state of Georgia.
Bateman was arrested on June 3 on misdemeanor charges of criminal property damage, reckless conduct and battery, per official booking documents from the Walton County Sheriff's Office. The Ravens issued the following statement to WJZ about the incident, via CBS News: "We are aware of the situation involving Rashod and have been in direct communication with him. We notified the league office and have been cooperating throughout the process," Chad Steele, Sr., Vice President of Communications, Ravens, said. As this is a pending legal matter, we will not have further comment."
