On Monday, Bradham and his attorney reported to Miami Beach Police headquarters where he surrendered without incident and was charged. He reportedly had a cut on the back of his head from a glass bottle.
Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham was spending a little time at the beach in Miami before heading up to Eagles camp, but his trip took a turn for the worse last week.
Police said Bradham was arguing with the victim about his speed of service.
This news comes one day before veterans are required to report for Eagles training camp.
Bradham, 26, signed a two-year, $7 million contract worth $4.5 million guaranteed with the Eagles earlier this offseason.
The report says that the victim sustained a broken nose, contusions to the face and a laceration on his lip. He was transported to the hospital for treatment. The victim & witness were separately presented photographic lineups & identified the defendant without hesitation.
An NBC Miami story said Courtois, 40, was renting the party an umbrella, paid for with Bradham’s credit card. We have been in contact with Nigel and the proper authorities.
Bradham was a free agent acquisition of the Eagles this offseason, and is expected to start at the SAM linebacker spot in 2016 alongside Mychal Kendricks and Jordan Hicks. According to the police report, Bradham was charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.
“Due to the ongoing legal process, we will have no further comment at this time”, the Eagles added.
