Earlier this offseason, we heard about members of the Cleveland Browns getting in trouble, whether it was Jimmy Haslam, Armonty Bryant, Quentin Groves, or Ausar Walcott (released). Now, the plague is trickling down to former members of the Browns. It's not the team's most beloved players (Joshua Cribbs or Phil Dawson), but it did involve a beloved general manager and a former linebacker.
As most of you know by now, former Browns general manager was arrested in June for a DUI, news which became available yesterday. Here is his mugshot:

Then, news broke today that Oakland Raiders linebacker Kaluka Maiava is facing assault charges for an incident that happened just four days after he signed with the team this offseason.
According to the Associated Press, Maiava and his brother, Ilima, are charged with assaulting two men during a brawl at a Maui bar on March 17. The brothers have been charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal property damage and will be arraigned July 25, according to the AP.
I thought bar fights only happened with the APA in wrestling, and that you never get in trouble for them. Maybe that's what Maiava, a relative of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, thought as well.
