Detroit Lions linebacker Trevor Bates has been arrested. Reports out of New York City say Bates was taken into custody after refusing to pay a cab fare. He was being processed at the 115th precinct when he went berserk, and slugged a police officer in the head, causing a concussion. It took multiple officers and a taser to control Bates, who has been sent for a psychiatric evaluation. Bates played mostly on special teams for Detroit this season.
