FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) -- Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has been charged with assault in what police said was a case of road rage. Fairfax County police spokeswoman Shelley Broderick said a 38-year-old man told investigators he was driving a Honda Civic in suburban Washington when he saw a pickup truck tailgating him. The man said the driver then made a hand gesture. Haynesworth, who was driving the truck, got out when the vehicles stopped and assaulted the other driver, Broderick said. Police have been in touch with Haynesworth's attorney, and arrangements have been made for him to meet with officers and appear in Fairfax County General District Court at a later date, she said. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said in an e-mail that team officials are gathering information about the incident and would not comment further. Haynesworth, a two-time All-Pro defensive lineman, has had his share of trouble while with the Redskins. He repeatedly clashed with coach Mike Shanahan and was suspended without pay for the final four games of the season for "conduct detrimental to the club." He has played only 20 games for the team since he was signed in 2009 to a seven-year, $100 million contract with $41 million in guaranteed money. Haynesworth isn't the only Redskins player to be in trouble with the law recently. In December, defensive lineman Joe Joseph was arrested on charges of driving under the influence less than 24 hours after making his NFL debut.

We all know he couldn't assault a QB .....

[pgabriel]

i guess his insurance policy was up, otherwise he would have stayed in the truck and fell asleep

[Uprising]

[edwardc]

Geez. I realize Dan Snyder (I was about to say Gilbert, they're both idiots though... lol) loves to give out moronic type money to these guys, but I feel sorry for their fans.

Is there anyway to just... "terminate" Haynesworth?

oh oh oh, which yankee player was sitting next to george costanza, when george follows a driver whom he thinks flipped him the bird?

oops, this isn't the seinfeld trivia thread is it?


Got to quote C from the bronx tale, the saddest thing in life is wasted potential. Fat Albert has been worthless for the redskins. I can't believe some members of the media believed Mike was wrong for embarrassing Albert during training camp. I'm glad shanahan went about it the way he did.

He'll get cut and end up with philly with his old d line coach.

Albert Haynesworth charged with abuse

Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly fondling the breast of his server in a hotel restaurant in Washington.

A grand jury returned an indictment formally charging Haynesworth over the alleged incident at a downtown Washington hotel in the early hours of Feb. 13. If convicted, the 29-year-old two-time All-Pro faces up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.



According to the U.S. attorney's office, the government's evidence shows Haynesworth slid a credit card down the front of the server's dress and fondled her breast.

Haynesworth's attorney, A. Scott Bolden, called the charge disappointing and regretful and said it would be a difficult case for the government to prove. Haynesworth is innocent and several witnesses would vouch that the alleged conduct never happened, Bolden said.

"We maintain his innocence, and now the fight begins," Bolden said.

Telephone and e-mail messages left for Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, were not immediately returned. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said the team referred all calls to Haynesworth and his agent.

Haynesworth is also currently facing charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man during a road-rage assault. His trial is scheduled for May. At one point last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn't paying for her health insurance or their children's bills.

Haynesworth has also dealt with his share of on-the-field problems over the past year. He had a tumultuous 2010 season with the Redskins that ended when he was suspended without pay for the final four games of the season for "conduct detrimental to the club."

Haynesworth had constantly feuded with coach Mike Shanahan, skipped offseason workouts and failed to pass a conditioning test at the start of training camp.

He did not start a game last season, despite being in the second year of a seven-year, $100 million contract, and is expected to be traded or released by the Redskins this offseason.

Assaulting a buffet maybe.

I would love to know what goes through a guy's mind as he's sliding a credit card down the front of a waitress's blouse. He can't possibly be thinking that it's going to end well, can he?

To be fair, the waitress's breasts were between Albert and a plate of meatballs.
