Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence Saturday night, Davie (Fla.) Police Cpt. Dale Engle told NFL.com and NFL Network.

Police said Johnson head-butted his wife, "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, in the forehead during an argument they had while driving home from dinner. Lozada was treated at the scene for a "pretty good-sized" laceration, Engle said, and she later was taken to the hospital.

Johnson told police that he and his wife accidentally knocked heads, according to Engle, who said the "heated argument" started over a receipt for condoms found in the car.

The Johnsons live in Davie, where the Dolphins' practice facility is located, and a neighbor called police about the incident, Engle said.

"We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering all of the relevant information," a Dolphins spokesman said in a statement given to NFL.com and NFL Network's Jeff Darlington.

Johnson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, had no comment about his client's arrest when reached by NFL.com and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Johnson remains in custody and won't be eligible for release until a bail hearing is set, which could be as late as Monday, Engle said.

Johnson and Lozada were married July 4. He changed his last name from Ochocinco back to Johnson so his wife could take it as her last name.

Johnson, 34, had never been arrested during his 12-year NFL career, but according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, he was arrested in a domestic dispute during college.

Johnson signed with Dolphins this offseason after spending last season with the New England Patriots.

Johnson started in the Dolphins' preseason opener Friday night. He didn't have a catch and was targeted only once in the 20-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He's done. I wonder if Miami would be willing to take a chance on another troubled WR named Kenny Britt. They need WR help for Tanny the Nanny.
