Johnson Charged with Simple Assault

Kansas City running back Larry Johnson, already facing possible suspension by the NFL, was charged Monday with simple assault for spitting his drink in a woman's face.

Several hours later, the Chiefs indicated the two-time Pro Bowl running back would not play for the foreseeable future.

Simple assault is a municipal charge, similar to a traffic ticket, and carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine and 180 days in jail. But the two-time Pro Bowler, who signed the biggest contract in Chiefs history about 15 months ago, could be in much deeper trouble with the league.

This is the fourth time in five years he's been accused of assaulting a woman and the Chiefs acknowledged last week the NFL was looking into the latest incident.

Tough luck for a struggling team. I never liked the guy to be honest with ya.

Neither did I. I was bitter when he took over for Priest Holmes, who was one of my top 5 running backs at the time, and he took over for him, and now he does this, which isn`t the first time. I mean I tried to like the guy, but he makes it really hard when he does stupid stuff like this. People who do stuff like this make me sick.
