San Diego Chargers rookie linebacker Anthony Waters faces misdemeanor assault and battery charges after an incident this week in which the former Clemson star is alleged to have beaten a man on the head and body.
A third-round draft choice, Waters appeared before an Horry County (S.C.) magistrate on Friday, where he was charged and released on $1,000 bond. A representative for the Horry County police said Saturday that a trial date has not been set.
According to an arrest warrant and an incident report, the windshield of Waters' car was smashed on Tuesday when Colby Sarvis allegedly threw a rock at the vehicle. Waters pulled to the side of the road, a confrontation ensued, and Waters and a friend, Brian Rogers, are alleged to have beaten Sarvis.
Waters, 22, and Rogers are charged with simple assault and battery. Sarvis was charged with malicious damage to personal property.
