A former University of Miami football star and National Football League great is in hot water after New Jersey authorities arrested him for allegedly grabbing a naked woman by the hair and dragging her across a hotel hallway during an altercation in Atlantic City.
Authorities accused Frank Gore, 39, of simple assault. It is a violent criminal offense that could carry up to six months in county jail and a fine of $1,000, according to Ann Olivarius, a partner and co-founder of the feminist law firm McAllister Olivarius.
