Gainey was released from jail Monday after posting bail, according to TMZ Sports.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Gainey told officers he was in town for a charity golf event.

“He's married. He told us he was here for a charity golf event and it was supposed to be in the next morning tee off. He didn't make it. He was a scratch,” Judd said during a news conference. “We charged him with soliciting. He missed his tee time the next morning.”
