NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans Saints linebacker Junior Galette was arrested Monday in a domestic violence case in which a woman says her face was scratched and her ear bloodied after an earring was ripped off.Galette was booked with misdemeanour simple battery stemming from the disturbance at the players house in Kenner, a New Orleans suburb. Prosecutors could later charge him. It is not clear if Galette, who left jail on $600 bond Monday afternoon, has a lawyer.Officers arrested Galette after a 22-year-old woman called Monday morning, police spokesman Lt. Brian McGregor said.

Banks also was arrested and was released on $300 bond.The Saints said they are aware of the arrest and are gathering information. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league knows of the arrest and is looking into it.Because the case is in its early stages, it was unclear what punishment Galette could face from the NFL, which this past season adopted new codes of conduct pertaining to domestic violence.The policy calls for a six-game suspension, without pay, for violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, other forms of family violence, or sexual assault.The policy also says that consideration is given to possible mitigating or aggravating circumstances.According to McGregor, the woman gave this account: Galette pushed her and helped Banks pin her down in an effort to subdue her. She momentarily struggled to breathe while beneath the two men, and when they let her up she grabbed a knife, fearful she would be attacked again. At that point, Galette began to record a video of her actions.The woman told police that after she dropped the knife, Banks lifted her off the ground and carried her from the home, and Banks then took her phone as she started to dial 911.McGregor said Galette also indicated he had a video recording, and police are attempting to execute a search warrant to obtain it.When police asked the woman about her relationship with Galette, she said she has stayed with him for about two years, cooking, cleaning and doing everything for him that he wants, and he takes care of me, McGregor said.Galette disputed that the woman lived with him and referred to her as a dancer, McGregor said. Galette did not give authorities any other statements about the disturbance, McGregor added.The 26-year-old player was the teams sacks leader this season 10.

BALTIMORE -- Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey will undergo elbow surgery Friday to repair a torn flexor tendon. Bailey was placed on the 60-day disabled list this week, ending his season. He has been on the DL since Aug. 16. Bailey was 9-5 with a 3.71 ERA over 23 starts. "We have tried to take a conservative approach, but its not healing so we have decided to repair that tendon," head athletic trainer Paul Lessard said. Asked about the recovery time, Lessard said, "He should be ready to go by spring training." The procedure will be performed by Dr. Timothy Kremcheck, the teams medical trainer and head orthopedic surgeon. "This may be the best way to go in the sense that now there is a timetable," manager Bryan Price said. "The other option is that we could have continued to do a strengthening routine and a recovery routine over the off-season," Price said. &qquot;If for some reason that didnt satisfy the issue with his elbow, then that would have necessitated having a surgery to begin the season and that would basically have eliminated him from our club for all of 2015.ddddddddddddquot; Bailey last pitched on Aug. 7 against Cleveland, allowing four hits over seven innings of a 4-0 victory. His forearm was sore near the elbow after that game, and it bothered him the next time he tried to throw. He went on the 15-day disabled list, but the Reds had hoped to have him back this season. This is Baileys first season under a six-year, $105 million contract that he agreed to in February. Bailey threw a no-hitter in Pittsburgh in 2012 and no-hit the Giants at Great American Ball Park last season. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in San Francisco on June 29 before Buster Posey singled with two outs to break it up. He finished with a three-hitter. ' ' '
