Last November, Texans guard Fred Weary was pulled over in a traffic stop and Tasered for allegedly resisting arrest. Those charges were dropped when a judge found that the police's story didn't add up to a resisting charge. This incident led to calls for the Houston Police Department's Tasering rules to be reviewed.Well, apparently Weary is sideways with HPD again. A report from KHOU Channel 11 in Houston suggests that Weary is being investigated by police for an incident that occurred in a swinger's bar two weeks ago. According to the report, a group was there for a bachelor and bachelorette party:
"In the police report, witnesses told HPD that for some unknown reason Weary started a fight inside the club breaking tables, chairs and glasses. When people tried to stop him, the report states pushed them around as well.
The big Texans lineman allegedly threw a drink on a female family member and then assaulted her.
Investigative sources told 11 News that female was Weary's wife."
Ew, those allegations don't look so good--swinger bar, fight, assaulted wife--not the trifecta you want to hit. A lot of people gave Weary the benefit of the doubt the last time he was accused because of his reputation as a quiet, family man. I don't know what will come of the investigation, or what the facts may prove if it goes to a court of law, but I guess that isn't important in the new NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that players are held to a higher standard than just legal guilt or innocence in a court of law. What that ends up meaning as it relates to Fred Weary (or any other NFL player accused of something) is unclear.
Update: KTRK 13 in Houston is reporting that the club owner did not press charges because Weary paid him for damages, but that the police are still investigation potential assault charges. Hat Tip: DGDB&D.

Not good news! Our guys had been looking so good in comparison with the rest of the league. Hopefully this will not affect the team. It also makes you question the tazer incident. Maybe he wasn't as innocent as we wanted to believe. Too bad.
