Junior Galette, a Washington Redskins linebacker, was arrested this weekend in Biloxi, Mississippi. He’s facing charges of disorderly conduct and failing to comply.

He allegedly got into a fight on Friday night at MGM Park. As law enforcement authorities tried to talk to Galette, he ran.

He’s had run-ins with the law in the past. And with this latest incident, it would not be surprising if Bruce Allen, Redskins president, and Jay Gruden, Redskins head coach, decide to cut ties with him, as he has never played in a game for the team.

Galette was involved in a domestic violence incident in January 2015. But those charges were later dropped.

There is an ongoing civil case from that incident.

Later in 2015, a video surfaced that showed Galette swinging a belt at an individual on a beach in a separate incident.

He has torn his Achilles the past two seasons, both with the Redskins.

As a player with the Saints from 2010 through 2014, he appeared in 64 games. He made 30 starts.

He also had 31.5 sacks. Galette had five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He also had four pass deflections.
