SHAUN PHILLIPS CITED FOR BATTERY

Just as the “Days Without An Arrest” meter was preparing to make a rare trip into the twenties, Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips has reset the thing to double zero.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Phillips was ”cited” on Saturday for allegedly busting in the face a security guard at a rooftop bar.
Phillips has been charged with misdemeanor battery.
It’s the second allegation of battery against Phillips this month. A security guard at another club claims that Phillips choked and punched him on April 11.
Phillips has professed his innocence, calling both incidents “misunderstandings.”
“There is video of the whole thing, and it won’t show me anywhere in the vicinity,” Phillips said.
He also seems to think it’s significant that he didn’t do a perp walk. “You don’t see me in handcuffs, don’t see me in the back of a police car,” Phillips said.
Yeah, but he has been cited for misdemeanor battery. And that’s enough of an incident to re-set the meter.
