Jets cornerback Justin Miller was arrested early Sunday and charged with third-degree misdemeanor assault after he allegedly punched a woman in a New York City nightclub, ESPN's Jeremy Schaap is reporting.

Miller was apprehended after a police chase at 4:20 a.m.


Police said Miller was swinging at a man, but hit the woman after the man ducked. The woman has a laceration on her face and swelling and pain in her knee.

"I want to apologize to everyone for this situation, including my family, my teammates, the Jets organization, our fans and the entire NFL," Miller said in a statement released on Sunday. "I understand that serving in the NFL is an honor and that I have an obligation to behave in a manner that reflects the privilege I have been given."


The Jets are evaluating the situation and plan to get the commissioner's office involved.

You just want the entire Jets roster to sit out a season! Ugh, Patriots fan.

He obviously did a crime but it was unintended. Perhaps, the other man who probably provoked the fight will be found guilty. Regardless, this is a major hit to the Jets organization.
