Former Brown Richardson arrested

Former NFL running back Trent Richardson is facing a misdemeanor domestic violence charge in Alabama.

Police in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover say the 26-year-old Richardson was jailed Friday with bond set at $1,000.

A police statement says officers received a call about yelling coming from a guest room at a hotel Thursday night. It says police responded and found a woman with scratches and bruises on her face.

The statement says the two argued earlier at a Walmart store, and the dispute continued at the hotel. Paramedics treated the woman, but she didn’t require further medical attention. Richardson played football at Alabama before turning pro. He spent four seasons total in the NFL at Cleveland and Indianapolis.

Records aren’t yet available to show whether Richardson has a lawyer.

COACH FIRED FOR BASHING

BAMA>> David Feaster, the coach in Louisiana who famously banned Alabama’s recruiters from visiting his high school, has been fired.

Bossier City Parkway High School principal Waylon Bates said in a statement released Friday that he and Feaster “do not share the same philosophy or vision” for the school’s athletics. Bossier Parish Schools Superintendent Scott Smith confirmed that Feaster remains employed as a math and physical education teacher.

Feaster told the Shreveport Times that Bates cited insubordination, for not seeking approval of his ban of Alabama coach Nick Saban and staff from the school. Feaster told the newspaper he made the decision under the school’s previous principal because of what he felt was unethical recruiting practices by the Crimson Tide.
