Former NFL star Deion Sanders isn’t walking away from a Monday altercation with his estranged wife completely scot-free.

 

According to a report from the Associated Press, Sanders has been charged with misdemeanor simple assault for his role in yesterday’s altercation with Pilar Sanders.

 

Pilar was arrested on Monday on a misdemeanor domestic-violence charge, saying she was innocent upon her release on Tuesday. Sanders himself was not arrested, as the police said that the charge did not warrant an arrest.

 

According to NFL.com, the charge against Sanders is one that covers “any act considered aggressive and could be as simple as touching or defensively jerking away from someone’s grip.”

 

…Sanders currently works as an analyst for the NFL Network. It is unclear how this sudden situation changes the network’s plans for him concerning Thursday’s NFL draft.
