Former NFL running back Frank Gore, the league's third all-time leading rusher, was charged with simple assault stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident at an Atlantic City, New Jersey, hotel, the Atlantic City Police Department said Tuesday.
Police said in a press release that officers were dispatched on July 31 to the Tropicana Atlantic City to respond to a report of a domestic violence dispute. Per police, officers found the alleged victim, a 28-year-old woman from Miami, speaking with hotel security. Police said the alleged victim "did not exhibit signs of injury and complaints were not filed" at that moment, but that a subsequent investigation led to Gore's being charged with simple assault.
