POSTED: 3:02 pm EDT June 30, 2008
BOSTON -- A New England Patriots defensive back is accused of pointing a gun at his fiancee's head in Mansfield on Monday after she accused him of cheating on her.
The woman told police that she confronted Willie Andrews, 24, in a bedroom of his apartment on Sunday night, according to the Sun Chronicle. She said that Andrews was waving the gun and that it touched her temple, the newspaper reported.
The woman called 911, and when police arrived, Andrews allowed police to search his car. Police did not find a gun. The woman took her child to a hotel, police said.
Early Monday morning, police saw Andrews talking to the woman in the hotel parking lot. She told police that she was scared because he "threatened to shoot her in the past."
Andrews was later arrested at his apartment and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
The New England Patriots released a statement late Monday saying the team takes the conduct of its players "very seriously."
Earlier this year, Andrews was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after police allegedly found him with a half-pound of marijuana.
