Darius Philon was released from jail on Saturday. He was released by the Cardinals hours later.

The 25-year-old defensive lineman was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, following an incident at a strip club on May 17 in which he allegedly held two women at gunpoint. According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Philon pointed a gun at the chest of one of the women, and then asked them, “Which one of you wants a bullet?” according to one of the alleged victims. Philon returned to the Arizona club the next night to attempt to make amends, but was rebuffed by the alleged victim.

Following Saturday’s court hearing, Philon was released from jail after paying a $5,000 bond.

“The team is aware of the situation and very serious allegations involving Darius Philon,” the Cardinals said in a statement before cutting ties with the former sixth-round pick. “We have informed the National Football League as required by the league’s Personal Conduct Policy and will comment further when appropriate.”

Releasing NFL players usually leaves teams with no financial obligation to the player, but Philon, who signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Cardinals in March, has $5 million guaranteed without ever suiting up in Arizona.

The former Arkansas standout, who started in Thursday’s preseason opener, spent his first four years with the Chargers, making 19 starts, while recording a total of 8.5 sacks the past two seasons.
