Redskins' Montae Nicholson Arrested For Assault & Battery After Alleged Drunken Brawl
Redskins' Montae Nicholson Arrested, Charged W/ Assault & Battery ... Alleged Drunken Brawl
1:39 PM PT -- Nicholson posted bail $2,500 ... and is no longer in jail.
Redskins' safety Montae Nicholson was arrested and charged with assault and battery after officials say he was involved in a drunken street brawl, sending 2 people to the hospital.
Nicholson -- a 4th round draft pick in 2017 out of Michigan State -- was arrested with a female companion after allegedly fighting another man and woman in the street outside Washington D.C.
So, couples fight.
Cops from Loudoun County Sheriff's Dept. responded to a call for a fight involving multiple people ... and after investigating, determined Nicholson and his female friend were at fault -- and they were arrested.
Officers do NOT believe Nicholson hit the female victim.
As for the alleged victims ... cops say their injuries are, "serious but non-life-threatening."
Nicholson -- who's played in all 14 of the Skins games this season and has racked up 41 tackles -- is still behind bars in county jail.
If Nicholson can't play this week against the Titans, it could be a big blow for the Skins -- who are 7-7 and still in the hunt for a playoff berth -- even after losing 4 of their last 5 games.
