(Reuters) - Former Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien, who led his team to a 1992 Super Bowl victory and now faces mental health issues he says result from his years on the field, has been charged with domestic violence, police said on Monday.
Rypien, 56, was arrested outside a Spokane bank on Sunday and charged with fourth-degree assault after police found his wife lying on the ground, said Police Sergeant John O'Brien. Washington state law requires police to arrest the suspect in an alleged domestic assault case.
