TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Buccaneers running back Lionel Gates was arrested and charged with hitting a pregnant woman in the face and pushing her into a wall during an argument.

The 25-year-old player was being held Friday with no bond, jail records said.

Gates kicked in the front door of Peggie Lavender's apartment Thursday night, destroyed two televisions and two doors, put a hole in the bedroom wall and assaulted her, a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office report said. He was arrested later at his apartment in the same complex.

Gates was charged with burglary of a dwelling, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and criminal mischief. A call to his lawyer, Ken Sarnoff, was not immediately returned.

"Charges such as those facing Lionel Gates are taken seriously by the Buccaneers organization," the team said in a statement Friday. "We plan to meet with Lionel as soon as possible after which we will deal with this matter appropriately."

Gates was signed by Tampa Bay in September after being released by Buffalo. He played at Louisville and was drafted by the Bills in 2005.

So he kicks in a door, destroyed 2 TV's and 2 doors, put a hole in the wall by pushing a pregnant woman into it, and then punched her in the face. That's a whole lot of damage for a guy who has never carried the ball in the NFL... someone's going to be out of a job real quick....

A little insight to this real man....

What do you do to relax in your spare time?

"One of my favorite things to do is sit back and listen to music. I just think about all the good times - my family - I am a family-oriented guy. I just think about the fun times, the family reunions and watching movies. I like to critique movies, so hopefully one day I can become an actor or something (laughs)."

Going to have a lot of spare time now... in jail... maybe he can think of all the games he played in..... maybe he can think of Niagra Falls.....

Good Luck to this fine upstanding citizen.

I don't know how you guys can joke about this. This is an absolute tragedy as disgusting as it is disturbing. If you'd ever been close to such a situation you'd understand the depravity involved and the permanent damage it can cause. I mean, imagine if those were YOUR televisions. How would you feel then? And it wasn't enough to just change the channel, or unhook the cable...this animal destroyed not one, but two TV's! Maybe you can laugh about this but for me its just too soon, man. Way too soon.

On a lighter note, that knocked-up chick's name was Peggy Lavender! I mean, how totally appropriate that a chick with a porn-queen name is preggers and getting baounced off walls! Hooo! Good times.

You know, you're right... I never even considered the real tragedy of the story.

But they probably werent HD Tv's since he was a scrub, but still.... they were innocent bystanders with no where to run with all those wires and such.

Plus, how about the 2 doors?? Those trees died so this maniac could bitchslap a pregnant woman... Their parents would be sad their little saplings didnt lead a better life and got mixed up with these 2...

Everyone should give their TV's a big hug tonight and tell them how much you love them and how much joy they bring to your life.

The NFL has hit rock bottom and continued to dig.

No the media has hit rock bottom, becuase for everyone of these Ahole players there are 10+ good players out doing what they are supposed to and even donating their time... we just dont hear about all of that... its not cool enough for the media to cover.
