According to a police report obtained by ESPN, the woman alleged that Starks tried to remove her engagement ring from her hand during an argument, which she said caused nine of her fingernails to break and bleed. She also alleged that Starks banged her head against a wall.

In December 2006, Starks reached an agreement with the assistant district attorney of conditional dismissal of the charge if he continued NFL-sponsored anger-management counseling.
Neither Starks nor the alleged victim returned Broadly’s request for comment.
