What are charges against Micheal Barrow? Details explored as ex-NFL linebacker faces arrest in Florida

Micheal Barrow has been arrested in Florida after he allegedly punched his wife.

TMZ has reported that the former Miami Hurricanes star linebacker got cuffed on Monday night outside an airport in South Florida for getting physical with Shelley during a family dispute. Local 10 has reported that the former Miami Hurricanes star is now looking at three counts of domestic battery.

Per the outlet, he was quarreling with his minor son at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Tuesday when Shelly intervened to calm him down, causing Barrow to strike her on the face by accident.

According to an incident report obtained by the publication, Barrow's older son "witnessed his mom on the ground" and his father "punching his younger brother," so he interjected by tackling Barrow. Undeterred, he then punched his son “in the face with a closed fist," per TMZ.

The New York Post has reported that the former University of Miami star entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday after being booked at the Broward Main Jail, and has since been released on a $5,000 bond. As for the alleged victims, WSVN has reported that there were no serious injuries.
