Former NFL running back Frank Gore was charged this week with simple assault stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident involving a 28-year-old woman last month in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The Atlantic City Police Department told TMZ that it responded to a call at 8:11 am on July 31 at the Tropicana Atlantic City regarding a report of a domestic violence dispute.
Police did not identify the woman they said spoke to hotel security – and she “showed no signs of injury and no complaints were filed at this time”.
According to court documents, Gore is scheduled to appear in court in mid-October. Further details about the incident were not disclosed.
