Sports columnist Jay Mariotti free on bail
LOS ANGELES, Sportswriter and television personality Jay Mariotti was out on bail Sunday after Los Angeles police said he was arrested on a domestic violence charge.
Mariotti, 51, spent a few hours at an LAPD station before being released Saturday on $50,000 bail, police sources told the Los Angeles Times.
The newspaper said Mariotti was picked up before dawn Saturday on suspicion of felony domestic assault following a noisy argument with his girlfriend at a Santa Monica club, which apparently continued at his apartment in nearby Venice.
The beef allegedly involved some pushing and shoving, and the woman's arm was left with bruises.
Mariotti, a former columnist in Denver and Chicago, currently appears on ESPN's "Around the Horn" and writes for the Web site Fanhouse.com.
Neither Mariotti nor ESPN had any immediate comment.
