Over the weekend, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams was reportedly stabbed in the leg by his brother, 23-year-old Eric Baylor, who bolted the scene and had police searching for him nearly 24 hours.

On Monday night, Baylor finally turned himself in to police where he was arrested on a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Baylor was held overnight.

Williams told police that the stabbing occurred ”during a wrestling match” and that it was purely accidental, but police do not seem to be buying the story.

The good news is that Williams appeared to only have a minor injury and the incident should not affect his ability to play this season. However, the Buccaneers are growing tired of Williams’ act and constant off-field trouble which could mean his time in Tampa Bay may be coming to an end.
