HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut police say former pro football player Hugh Douglas has denied charges that he assaulted his girlfriend and told investigators that marks on her neck were from rough sex.
The 42-year-old former defensive end with the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars was charged with strangulation and assault early Sunday at a Hartford hotel.
A police report says Douglas' girlfriend alleged Douglas grabbed her throat in a hallway and slammed her into the walls while carrying her to their room.
