According to ABC6 Providence, former New England Patriots fullback Patrick Pass was just taken into custody for allegedly assaulting an elderly man at a Planet Fitness in Providence, Rhode Island.
According to police, after a fight over a piece of exercise equipment, 46-year-old Pass and an 82-year-old man allegedly shoved each other to the ground, with Pass inflicting back injuries. According to reports, the event happened on August 28.
Pass was accused of assaulting a guy over 60 and causing physical harm, according to ABC6 Providence.
In the 2000 NFL Draft, Pass was chosen by the Patriots just one round behind QB legend Tom Brady. During the early half of New England’s dynasty, Pass won three Super Bowl titles while playing seven seasons for the Patriots from 2000 to 2007.
The Massachusetts Pirates are an Indoor Football League team located in the Bay State, and Pass is described as their director of football personnel development. In July of 2023, Pass was suspended indefinitely from his position as coach of the Pirates after he and three players got into a brawl in the stands, according to The Boston Globe.
This year’s first arrests in Rhode Island for a Patriots Super Bowl champion are not Pass. The Super Bowl XLIX hero, Malcolm Butler, was arrested in March for driving while intoxicated.
