Fred Smoot, who played cornerback for the Vikings in 2005-06 and was a principal figure in the team's infamous "Love Boat" scandal was arrested on charges of domestic assault in Loudon County, Va., on Sunday, according to the Washington Post.
Smoot played nine seasons in the NFL, seven of them for Washington.
Smoot pled guilty to disorderly conduct after the Vikings' bye-week boat scandal in 2006, although he later denied he was the organizer of the infamous event.
Smoot, who works in television in the Washington, D.C. area, has been suspended from one of his jobs there.
