MIAMI (AP) - Minnesota Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie was arrested for aggravated battery after a street brawl outside a nightclub early Sunday.

McKinnie also was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence, according to a police report.


Authorities were called to Club Space after a fight broke out. McKinnie had been thrown out by a nightclub security guard and was arguing and spit on Eric Otero, according to a police report.
Otero, 32, said he wouldn't press charges if McKinnie left. Authorities said the former University of Miami player then went to a nearby strip club, but later returned to Club Space and fought with Otero again.
Miami Police found McKinnie "in the middle of a large crowd, throwing punches and again yelling obscenities," according to the police report.
Police told McKinnie to stop. He refused and boarded a bus. The bus driver was ordered not to drive away.
The 6-foot-8, 335-pound McKinnie, a staple on the Vikings' offensive line since being drafted out of Miami in 2002, was arrested and bonded out for $9,000 at 2:25 p.m., Miami-Dade County Corrections Department spokeswoman Janelle Hall said. Miami Police did not immediately return calls left by The Associated Press

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - McKinnie arrested for aggravated battery

I call there will be minimum of a 4 game suspension by the NFL. This is a bad enviroment. Space is the hangout of mostly druggies at after after hours.This probably went down around 5:30-6:00 am if not later. The strip club, Gold Rush, is one of those "back room" operations. The enviroment, time and not listening to the police with an assault rap.... not to mention previous problems....I say Roger "Batman" Goodell drops a 4 gamer on big Bryant of Da U.
