Houston Texans Player Arrested For Punching Hotel Window: Cops

NASHVILLE, TN — Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin has been accused of vandalism and public intoxication after police say he punched out a window at a Nashville hotel. Griffin, 29, was arrested Friday night.

Police were called around 11:40 p.m. after security at Hotel Indigo in downtown Nashville followed him to the corner of Union Street and 2nd Avenue North following the window-breaking.

Griffin's left hand and fingers were bleeding, police said, and he appeared intoxicated and unsteady. Rather than being issued misdemeanor citations, he was arrested for his own safety, police added.

Griffin’s bond was set at $1,750. He was released around 7 a.m. Saturday. It wasn't immediately known if he has an attorney.

The Texans drafted Griffin in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He has played 77 games with the team, catching more than 130 passes for about 1,500 yards and seven touchdowns.
