Patriots’ J.J. Worton arrested for assaulting two women, one man
New England Patriots practice squad player J.J. Worton was arrested for assaulting two women and one man early Saturday morning, reports CBS Boston.
The rookie groped the two women before knocking out the man. He was charged with two counts of indecent assault and battery and one count of assault and battery following the incident.
The assault, which occurred at a bar roughly two miles from Gillette Stadium, took place ahead of New England’s 20–18 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
Police pulled over the car Worton rode away in, at which point the wide receiver claimed that he had accidentally touched the women and punched the man as a method of self defense.
