Montee Ball has hit the trifecta of misery. Not only is his former team a few days away from playing in the Super Bowl without him but he’s also no facing assault charges and has probably lost his girlfriend.
According to reports Ball was detained for pushing his girlfriend at a Downtown Wisconsin hotel.
Ball, 25, was taken to the Dane County Jail on a tentative charge of substantial battery.
Police were called at about 3:40 a.m. Friday to the Hampton Hotel and Suites, 440 W. Johnson St.
“The woman told police she had a dispute with her boyfriend,” said police spokesman Joel DeSpain. “She said he put his hands on her, picked her up and threw her.”
She told police she hit a table, resulting in a cut to her leg, which needed stitches.
Ball was cooperative with police by all accounts but all signs point towards Ball’s NFL career being over. That’s tough for a 25-year-old former 1st round draft pick.
