Getty ImagesA relatively quiet offseason for the NFL’s legal docket had a blip on the radar screen Thursday.
According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Falcons safety William Moore has been arrested for simple battery.
“We are aware of the situation involving William Moore and are in the process of gathering more information,” a Falcons spokesperson told Ledbetter. “Because this is now a legal matter, the club will have no further comment at this time.”
Moore signed a five-year, $30 million deal last month to remain in Atlanta. He’ll now be spending some of that money on a person who has “Esq.” in his or her title.

That pic would make a great mug shot.

23 days is pretty good without an arrest!
Time to update the arrest calender.
come on, it was just simple battery. No big deal…
23 days, not bad.
Before anybody jumps to conclusions .. simple battery could be simply restraining a person. With that said it could also mean hes accused of possesing a simple battery .. for all we know an off-brand AA could carry a sentence in some Georgia countys
The arrest days counter was almost at a month too
Proof positive again that money ain’t the answer. If it was “the” answer the NFL would have nothing but, squeaky clean altar boys manning the teams.
Battery, pfft….Amateur. Jimmy Haslam goes big.
If they thought this is bad. Wait till the Saints whip their asses for the opener. FalCants.
I lost my over under bet for the arrest blotter. Took the under.
It would be hilarious if he had to forfeit money due a clause he doesn’t get arrest within 30 days of signing a contract.
That’s atlanta police for you. They would arrest u for anything.
Macon county. Great flix with Don Johnson and Nick Nolte. Sums up Georgia , were men are men and gators are nervous.
The Falcons sign high class citizens.
Is it just me or after these guys get paid arrests seem to shortly after?
Wonder if he’ll play the “meow” game with the prosecutors?
Hope it’s another Najeh Davenport arrest, non-existent.
“Moore got into a dispute with a women and grabbed her shoulder, according to a report by WSB-TV.”
Could have been worse…just sayin’…

What does simple battery mean?
Did he have a AAA Energizer with him?
Dang, can’t them falcons leave those dogs alone?
Simple Battery, is there a complicated Battery that is more serious?

Care to elaborate? I followed the link and don’t see anything anywhere to explain what that’s supposed to mean. Not trying to be a jerk, just curious. I have a feeling it would make me chuckle. I’ve now seen/heard of players named Champ, Prince, Captain, Royal and yes, even God. Some people…
He grabbed a womans shoulder. Looks like a two year suspension.
Headline should read “Another falcon has been arrested” if you were to be consistent with these situations…

How many criminals and lowlifes you gonna field this year, Aaathuh?
Ppl are funny acting like ” o another falcon got arrested” Cuz in the past 5 years 2 falcons got arrested(now 3). And the other 2 aren’t even on the team anymore.
Also both were last year.
