Falcons Player Charged In Domestic Violence Case

DECATUR, GA — Ra'Shede Hageman, an Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman, has been charged with three misdemeanors in DeKalb County relating to domestic violence.

Hageman, according to the AJC, has been charged with interference with a call for emergency help, battery family violence and cruelty to children, from a case dating back to March.

Hageman, a 2014 second-round draft choice, was inactive Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a roster decision that was a hot topic of conversation over Atlanta sports radio airwaves during and after the game. Speculation for the decision revolved around the fact that the Falcons were experimenting with different line sets and personnel.
