Patrick Chung is in a ton of trouble.
The former New England Patriots safety was arrested and charged on Monday with assault and battery on a family member and vandalizing property, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
Chung appeared in court Tuesday in Quincy, Massachusetts, and pleaded not guilty to charges involving the mother of one of his children, according to The Boston Globe.
Chung had opted out of the 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic and intended to play in 2021 before retiring in March, posting on Instagram that “it’s time to start a new life.”
Chung previously faced charges for cocaine possession, but those charges were conditionally dismissed on Jan. 2020.
Chung played for the Patriots from 2009 to 2012 and 2014 to 2020 when he retired from the NFL. He recorded 773 yards, 4.5 sacks and 56 pass breakups during his career. He also won two Super Bowls.
