Summary
$8,000 bond secured Rashod Bateman's release after Walton County, Georgia, arrested the 26-year-old Ravens receiver over a June 3 incident involving his child's mother.
Arrest warrants say Bateman smashed the windshield of a 2021 Mercedes-Benz while the woman and their 3-month-old child were inside, leaving the mother with cuts from broken glass.
Investigators also accuse him of trying to puncture a tire with a screwdriver; the charges are family violence battery, reckless conduct and felony criminal property damage.
Bateman's personal attorney called the matter an unfortunate family situation taken out of context, while the Ravens said they notified the NFL and are cooperating as the legal case proceeds.
