Junior Galette Arrested After Allegedly Running Away From Fight At Spring Break Festival

Washington linebacker Junior Galette was arrested on Friday and charged with disorderly conduct after he apparently hightailed it away from a scuffle that broke out at Biloxi, Mississippi’s annual Black Beach Weekend. Biloxi PD say that Galette got into a fight at a concert then ran away. WLOX first broke the news and ESPN has more details:

Galette was charged with disorderly conduct and failure to comply after getting into a fight and running away at MGM Park, where a concert was being held as part of Biloxi’s annual Black Beach Weekend, according to the Biloxi Police Department. He was released after posting a $500 bond.

“We are aware of the incident. We are gathering information and will refrain from making any further comment,” Redskins senior vice president Tony Wyllie said in a statement.

Galette spent four years with the Saints, racking up double-digit sacks in his last two seasons in New Orleans. He signed with Washington shortly after he was released one year into a four-year deal, although he hasn’t played a down for the team yet, as he’s torn an Achilles tendon two offseasons running. Galette was arrested for domestic violence in early 2015 while with the Saints.
