PITTSBURGH (AP)—Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II says the team is “disappointed” wide receiver Santonio Holmes is being accused in a lawsuit of assaulting a woman in an Orlando nightclub.
The lawsuit followed a separate incident involving quarterback Ben Roethlisberger(notes), who became the subject of a police investigation after a college student alleged he assaulted her in a Georgia nightclub.
“We are disappointed to learn about the recent incident involving Santonio Holmes in Florida,” Rooney said in a statement. Rooney said he would have no further comment until the team gathers more information.
Since 2006, Holmes has been charged with marijuana possession in Pittsburgh, domestic violence in Ohio and disorderly conduct in Florida. The marijuana and domestic violence charges were dropped. The disorderly conduct charge was dropped in exchange for a $250 donation to a police officers trust fund.
