Warren Sapp was arrested today for misdemeanor domestic violence in an incident in Miami with his girlfriend.

The victim, who was not named, told police that Sapp came into the room hours later and “then started arguing with her in ref. to some guys that she was hanging out with earlier.”

According to her statement to police, Sapp then “grabbed the victims phone and questioned her about guys that she had listed on her phone. The argument again became heated and the def. picked [her] up by the shirt and neck and then threw her back down. [The victim] landed on her leg and she felt a sharp pain.”

The entire affidavit is here and it’s juicier than the TV report, including Sapp texting “You whore” to his girlfriend after he pushed her out of the hotel room. He literally added insult to injury. Sapp went to the police station and turned himself in, probably because he knew they’d just come and get him anyway. The NFL Network has already pulled him off the air. I’d pay Jamie Dukes $100 to punch him in the mouth right now.

So, choking your girlfriend is a misdemeanor? What exactly does one have to do make it a felony? Sapp probably could have run her over with his car and just been given a ticket for an illegal lane change.
