Bengals Safety Marvin White Arrested

by Jason Garrison on Jul 17, 2011 10:30 AM EDT

Cincinnati Bengals safety Marvin White was arrested for one count of simple assault and one count of disturbing the peace by loud and abusive language Thursday night by the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's office in Louisiana. He posted $1,250 bond and was released a few hours later. He was hosting a football camp for children in the area.

"Marvin White went to a local child care center to pay a bill for his child and he began to be verbally abusive to the management when the manager assumed he was the boyfriend of the child's mother," St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said. "They asked him to leave. He then made threats in front of the children and other adults there toward the management and made comments to his son's grandmother, who was there to pick up the child."

White, who played in three games with the Bengals in 2010 making one tackle, will be an unrestricted free agent once the lockout comes to an end. Because of his new legal issues, it may be unlikely that the Bengal re-sign him. That leaves them with just Chris Crocker, Reggie Nelson and rookie Robert Sands at the safety position, so the Bengals will need to address the position in free agency once the lockout comes to an end to add more depth.

White was to appear in court on Friday. We'll update you on the situation when we know more.

Some where along the way I missed the law about yelling, seems police officers are on top of this new law everywhere, keeping our ears safe from harmful voices from Louisiana up to Cincinnati!

wow, after reading the story I ’m really confused,

Marvin White, 27, was arrested at 6:16 p.m. Thursday at his home at 304 Dr. Charlie Drive in Opelousas by St. Landry Parish deputies and booked into the St. Landry Parish Jail on one count of simple assault and one count of disturbing the peace by loud and abusive language, according to the St. Landry Parish Jail’s daily arrest report.“Marvin White went to a local child care center to pay a bill for his child and he began to be verbally abusive to the management when the manager assumed he was boyfriend of the child’s mother,” St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said. “They asked him to leave. He then made threats in front of the children and other adults there toward the management and made comments to his son’s grandmother, who was there to pick up the child.”

Because of the alleged disturbance, deputies were called to the scene to investigate and ultimately arrested White, Guidroz said. At 6:16pm at his house not on the scene, seems somebody got their feelings hurt, I’m sure if he wasn’t afootball player nothing would’ve have happened.

At least he didn't kick down a door and rip the phone off the wall...

I don't know anything about White, but something stinks here.

This seems like a bunch of BS to me.

The greatest level of BS leaving me wanting more info has to do with this “manager” that called Marvin the boyfriend of the mother of the child. Obviously this is his kid and he rightfully got pissed off at whatever they called him. The “manager” gets uppity because Marvin probably chastised her (guessing) in front of her staff, and they gave her smack about it. So she calls the cops, probably one who she knows off duty, and makes a big stink about nothing. “He don’t come into MY place and call ME a dummy (regardless of her actually being a dummy).”

The level of self-righteous people working at day cares is amazing. They love to show their “authority”, and all they have to do is say “It’s for the children/I’m protecting the children who had to suffer hearing this person talk loudly at me.”

You’re a glorified baby-sitter/teacher’s aide who made a huge error about one of your customers.
