Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard was arrested late Sunday in Davie, Florida, and charged with domestic battery following an alleged incident involving his fiancee and a disagreement over her purse.

Further details were not immediately available.

According to the arrest report obtained by the Daily Mail, Howard grabbed his fiancee's arms and pushed her against a mirrored glass wall in their bedroom, causing her to fall onto his walking crutch.

An officer reported scratches and redness on the forearm of Howard's fiancee.

Howard, who recently underwent knee surgery, was processed at the Davie Police Department before being moved to a local hospital and then to Broward County Jail, where bail was set at $3,000.

According to the police report, the fight began with a disagreement over the alleged victim's purse, which she recently purchased. However, further details about the argument have not been revealed.

'We are aware of the situation and currently gathering information,' the Dolphins said in a statement. 'We will have no further comment at this time.'

Howard was booked under the name Xavier Dewayne Howard-Arriola. ESPN initially reported the arrest Monday morning.

He and his fiancee reportedly have three children together, and have been together for six years, according to the police report. They got engaged two years ago.

Howard, 26, played only five games this season before landing on injured reserve in October with a knee injury.
