Ravens' Ray Rice arrested on assault charge
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was arrested at a casino here after an argument with his fiancee turned physical, police said.
Atlantic City police said that Rice and Janay Palmer were both arrested on simple assault charges and were released on a summons after an incident at the Revel Casino early Saturday morning.
Both Rice and Palmer declined medical attention and neither reported any injuries.
Michael Diamondstein, an attorney for Rice, says that he's hopeful that after an investigation "the matter turns out to be little more than a misunderstanding."-- AP
