Police view Rice as a suspect in an incident
that took place outside a nightclub early Monday morning,
according to the reports. A man allegedly hit a photographer,
who was then taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening
injuries.
Rice's attorney declined comment to the Morning News, and no
charges were filed as of Tuesday evening.
The wide receiver, who grew up in the Dallas area and played for
SMU, was already in trouble in the city for his connection to a
six-car crash on March 30. Rice turned himself in to police
several days later and faces one count of aggravated assault,
one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six
counts of collision involving injury.
An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Morning News showed
that Rice was driving 119 mph before the accident. A friend and
former SMU teammate, Teddy Knox, was traveling 116 mph in a
separate car, and he faces the same charges as Rice.
Seven people were left with injuries, including at least one
woman who sustained "serious bodily injury" and another who was
stranded on the highway with her 4-year-old son for about five
hours after the crash.
On April 3, Rice said he took "full responsibility" for his
actions related to the crash.
