Sapp had been tweeting pictures from the events leading up to the Super Bowl in downtown Phoenix and from the game just hours before his arrest, but there was one picture the former NFL Network Analyst didn’t pose for willingly, his mug shot.

The 42-year-old Hall of Fame defensive tackle, who played in the league for 12 years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders. Was in Phoenix covering the Super Bowl for NFL Network, when he was arrested early Monday morning at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix.

He was arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution, a class one misdemeanor, and two counts of assault, also class one misdemeanors. Two women told officers they were escorts hired by Sapp and that he assaulted one of them during an argument over money. Investigators say one of the women had injuries consistent with a struggle. “The victims involved approached police officers, advised them of the activity, and we investigated it from there,” said acting Police Chief Joseph Yanner. According to what the women told police, the argument spilled out into a hotel hallway. “The victims involved had some minor injuries, I don’t know specifically what those were,” the Chief concluded. The women involved are also facing charges. One was cited for one count of prostitution and the other was cited for violating the city’s escort permit requirements. All of this according to Fox 10 News in Phoenix.

Sapp was previously arrested for domestic battery in 2010, but those charges were dropped. He was also arrested for an alleged domestic battery incident in Miami last year. According to the report in his current case, Sapp admitted to hiring the prostitutes, but denied the assault allegations.

Sports Illustrated has reported, Sapp has been fired from his annalist position at NFL Network and his bio has been removed from their website.

   Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
   I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a
   decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

   The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
   blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
   P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
