Jah Reid arrested on battery charges

Baltimore Ravens backup offensive lineman Jah Reid was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of battery in Key West, Fla., early Sunday morning, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's office in Florida.

Reid is the third Ravens player to be arrested in 22 days. Running back Ray Rice was arrested for simple assault on Feb. 15, and backup wide receiver Deonte Thompson was arrested for possession of marijuana on Feb. 21.

According to the police report, Reid and another man got into a fight at the Red Garter Saloon with several others. The fight then escalated into a confrontation with security officials after they tried to break it up, according to police.

Reid, 25, was arrested at 3:14 a.m. Sunday morning. No court date has been set.

A third-round pick by the Ravens in 2011, Reid has played in 35 games, including seven starts. He played 23 offensive snaps last season.

Reid is entering the final year of his four-year, $2.6 million rookie contract.
