Former Baltimore Ravens Star Ray Rice Arrested at Revel Casino in Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Associated Press) — Atlantic City police said Baltimore running back Ray Rice was arrested at a casino after an argument with his fiancée turned physical.

Atlantic City police said that Rice and Janay Palmer were 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, said he’s hopeful that after an investigation “the matter turns out to be little more than a misunderstanding.”

The Ravens released a statement last night.

“We are aware of the Friday night situation with Ray Rice and his fiancée,” the Ravens said. “We have spoken with Ray and know that they returned home together after being detained.”

Rice played at Rutgers University in New Jersey and was drafted in the second round of the 2008 draft by the Ravens.
