Former Broncos RB Montee Ball was arrested in Madison, Wisc. early Friday morning and charged with battery, according to the Madison State Journal.
“The woman told police she had a dispute with her boyfriend,” a police source told the State Journal. “She said he put his hands on her, picked her up and threw her.”
The women told police that she hit a table, resulting in the cut on her leg that required stitches.
Police said they found Ball outside of the hotel and added that he “very cooperative.”
Ball’s practice squad contract with the Patriots recently expired so he’s a free agent.
Ball, 25, was entering the third year of his four-year, $3.53 million rookie contract that included a $964,896 signing bonus when the Broncos cut him loose at the start of the season.
The Patriots later signed him to their practice squad back in December.
In 2014, Ball was limited to appearing in just five games and rushing for 172 yards on 55 carries (3.1 YPC) to go along with nine receptions for 62 yards receiving and one total touchdown for the Broncos.
