The Saints wide receiver was arrested on Friday.

New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas was put behind bars on misdemeanor charges of simple battery and criminal mischief yesterday, the Kenner police announced.

The Saints player was cooperative and booked without incident. Later that day, Thomas was released to go home.

Michael was arrested after an altercation with a man who was doing construction work near where the player lives. The man told the police that the wide receiver confronted him about parking in front of his house and added that he would hurt him.

Michael was also unhappy that the man started filming the Saints wide receiver during the interaction, and the footballer threw a brick at his windshield, which didnā€™t cause any damage. The man added that the New Orleans player knocked his mobile device out of his hands as he didnā€™t want to be filmed.
