Green Bay Packers tight end Andrew Quarless was arrested in Miami Beach on Saturday for discharging a gun in public. He reportedly fired two shots after arguing with a group of women near a parking garage, according to a police report obtained by the Miami New Times.
Quarless tried to hide outside a restaurant and stashed his gun in a potted plant.
"We are aware of the matter ... and are in the process of gathering more information," his team's statement read.
