Cops busted Jets practice squad receiver Quincy Enunwa for allegedly roughing up a woman at a New Jersey hotel, authorities said Wednesday.
Enunwa, a 22-year-old rookie and sixth-round pick from Nebraska, was charged with simple assault, stemming from a 7:19 p.m. incident Sunday at the Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel, according to Florham Park police.
He was booked and released without bail.
Gang Green cut Enunwa to get down to their 53-man roster, before picking him up again for the practice squad on Tuesday.
It wasn’t immediately clear how Enunwa could be disciplined under the NFL’s new guidelines on domestic violence.
The NFL last week announced sweeping new penalties for players busted for domestic violence. First-time offenders face a six-game suspension and a second offense brings a lifetime ban.
“It will be reviewed under the policy,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
Enunwa is accused of “grabbing the victim by her ankle and pulling her off a bed causing her to strike and injure both her head and finger,” according to charging documents obtained by TMZ.com.
The alleged victim suffered minor injuries but was not taken to the hospital, authorities said.
Both Enunwa and Jets coach Rex Ryan declined to discuss the matter Wednesday.
“I’m aware of the situation, but it’s a pending legal matter so I’m not going to comment on it,” Ryan said.
Enunwa said he doesn’t believe his arrest had an impact on the Jets’ decision re-sign him to the practice squad.
“I spoke to people in the building. The decisions made were made,” he said. “It’s a pending legal matter. Nobody is holding it against me until we find out everything that is going on.”
A rep for the hotel could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday.
