| 11th December, 2007 - 9:14 am |  ESPN - Broncos' punter Todd Sauerbrun faces an assault charge for an incident outside a restaurant, a case that could bring more discipline from the NFL.
Sauerbrun, the fourth-leading punter in the NFL, was suspended for the first month of last season after using a banned dietary supplement. Upon his reinstatement, the Broncos and Sauerbrun split ways, and he signed with New England.
Sauerbrun returned to Denver on a one-year, $1.4 million contract after being granted his release from the Patriots in the spring, and Broncos' Coach Mike Shanahan admonished him upon his return, "Just stay clean; just stay out of trouble."
Denver police said Sauerbrun was cited for simple assault early Saturday.
"He was cited for a municipal ordinance violation of simple assault that stemmed from an altercation with a cab driver," Detective John White, a police spokesman, told The Associated Press. "So Sauerbrun was not arrested, but he was transported to a local detox facility." [READ] |
