Deion Sanders of the triple-A Columbus baseball team was arrested on charges he assaulted two fans during a game against the Richmond Braves, a Richmond, Va. city sheriff’s deputy said.
Sanders was charged with two counts of simple assault and was freed after posting $5,000 bail. Sanders was scheduled to appear in court today, a sheriff’s deputy said.
The incident allegedly occurred near the end of game after Sanders was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. He changed clothes and went to a concourse at stadium to wait for fans who had heckled him, said George Taylor head of security at the stadium.
Sanders, from Florida State, was the fifth player taken in the National football League draft by the Atlanta Falcons.
