Gabriel L. Kincaid has an arrest warrant in Florida for violating probation and failing to appear on charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug equipment. However, Florida authorizes do not have plans to extradite the 34-year-old suspect.

Kincaid now faces charges in Johnson City, Tennessee for aiding and abetting prostitution in an online escort service and a more recent domestic violence charge for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, who is also being charged in the prostitution case.

The alleged assault occurred several weeks ago at Kincaid’s home. The girlfriend, Amanda Holder, 25, told police that Kincaid threw a stun gun at her after she poured out his alcohol. A court document reports that the weapon caused a small bruise on Holder’s back.

Kincaid’s preliminary hearing is set for August 28.

Kalvin Pearson, formerly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, received word from the Hillsborough County state attorney’s office on Monday that domestic violence charges against the player have been dropped.

Pearson was arrested on April 26 and charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant woman and domestic battery by strangulation. Both are considered felonies. He was later released on $500 bond.

According to reports, Pearson’s girlfriend was pregnant with his child and sat in a Chevy Trailblazer when Pearson began to choke her, grabbing the woman by her neck and hair. Though the domestic violence charges have been dropped, the 29-year-old will still be arraigned on September 8 for a misdemeanor charge of obstructing or opposing an officer without force.

Pearson played for the Buccaneers from 2005 to 2007. He appeared in all 16 games in 2007. As a free agent since March, he signed with the Detroit Lions.
