Saints' Michael Thomas Arrested, Charged with Simple Battery and Criminal Mischief

Altercation Reportedly Over Parking Dispute, Thomas Allegedly Threw Brick at Worker's Truck and Pushed Worker

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was arrested on misdemeanor charges of simple battery and criminal mischief following an altercation with a construction worker over a parking dispute.
The incident reportedly began when Thomas yelled at the worker about parking in front of his house, then escalated when Thomas threw a brick at the worker's truck and pushed the worker.
The worker began recording the altercation, which allegedly upset Thomas, leading him to knock the phone out of the worker's hand and shove him.
Thomas was arrested without incident and was cooperative with investigators. He was released later the same night.
The New Orleans Saints organization has stated that they are aware of the incident and are gathering further information.
