\tATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Ravens running back Ray Rice and his fiancee were arrested over the weekend after a fight at a casino in Atlantic City, according a statement from the Atlantic City Police Department.<\/p>\n
\tCasino security called officers to the Revel Casino at about 2:50 a.m. Saturday after a domestic dispute between Rice and Janay Palmer that was recorded by video surveillance, according to a statement from police. Footage appeared to show both parties involved in a physical altercation.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cThe complaint summons indicates that both Rice and Palmer struck each other with their hands,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
\tBoth refused medical attention and did not report any injuries. Rice, 27, and Palmer, 26, were charged with simple assault-domestic violence and were released on a summons to appear in court.<\/p>\n
\tRice’s attorney, Andrew Alperstein, described the allegations as a \u201cvery minor physical altercation\u201d with Palmer. <\/p>\n
\tAccording to Chad Steele, the Ravens’ director of public relations: \u201cWe are aware of the Friday night situation with Ray Rice and his fiancee. We have spoken with Ray, and know that they returned home together after being detained.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tThe Revel Casino security department declined to comment when reached earlier Sunday. Michael Diamondstein, a Philadelphia-based attorney, has been hired to represent Rice.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWe haven’t seen any charging documents yet,\u201d Diamondstein said. \u201cThere was an argument that included Ray. I can’t give any specifics because we haven’t seen the document yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t\u201cOnce we’re able to go through the evidence, it should wind up to be little more than a misunderstanding,\u201d Diamondstein said.<\/p>\n
\tRice was with a group of about eight people earlier in the night at Royal Jelly Burlesque Nightclub located inside the casino, said Scott Russo, the director of operations for the club.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWhen he was here, they were having a great time \u2013 no issues \u2013 [Rice] was very nice to our staff,\u201d Russo said.<\/p>\n
\tHe said Rice has been to the club before.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWe took care of him like we do any of the celebrities that come in,\u201d Russo said.<\/p>\n
\tSince getting drafted out of Rutgers in the second round of the 2008 draft, Rice has been one of the Ravens’ most popular and productive players. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Rice has rushed for 6,180 yards and 37 touchdowns over six NFL seasons.<\/p>\n
\tHowever, he’s coming off his most disappointing season as a pro: He was limited to 660 rushing yards and four touchdowns this past season as the Ravens missed the playoffs for the first time since he’s been on the team.<\/p>\n
\tRice, who signed a five-year, $35 million deal with the Ravens in July 2012, has also been one of the organization’s most active players in the community. He’s been especially active in anti-bullying campaigns.<\/p>\n
