I had a girlfriend once who wanted to air her grievances while standing in front of the TV with Bama playing.
The police did end up paying a visit that day, due to the yelling.

I would have called the Po-Po on her myself!!

Don't know what to say, other than a deep sigh.

Do you think the media and opposing fans will care the difference? Nope. "Domestic violence" is all that matters to them.

Earle has mentioned it a few times. He's a tax attorney. Criminal law isn't his area of expertise.

Yup. All their mind's eye will see is him knocking out a girl on an elevator.

SMH. This is why I rarely visit sports sites/forums during the off season. Too Much drama. Wake me up when the spring game gets here.

Damages to both cars... Argument that went too far.

Help here - Is "Orlando Anderson" Ryan Anderson? I'm confused.

His real name is Orlando Ryan Anderson.

Thanks, I saw that after I posted. I don't think this will stop him from playing or practicing during the spring. JMO

This sounds like the country music song by Carrie Underwood about "thinking before you cheat".

Here's the law: Domestic Violence, Third Degree.

Doesn't sound like physical violence but maybe menacing?

Maybe he threw her stuff out or threw her cell phone in a lake. Still, waiting to see what really happened before I put my judgment hat on.

Never Mind. Just read your post, Con.

Very immature and certainly enough to be put in the doghouse but nothing should come of this, provided they both grow up a bit.

Before we go any further, I would like to point out that everyone should look up the charge and understand what it is. I don't think it's really fair to mention J. Taylor in this case, because both are very different situation. Just because we see the word, " Domestic Violence" doesn't mean it actually is what we think it is. The charge listed on the site sounds like he damaged a property that belonged to someone he was seeing. I could be wrong on this, but I need Earle to clear this up.

As a woman, I have strong views regarding any form of domestic violence. However, based on the charge, this could mean an intense argument, damage to property of another, or hands on another individual such as pushing, etc. From outward appearance it does not appear to be a "Ray Rice" type assault. These guys just never learn to walk away and cool off. Hope he survives Saban's wrath.

There's a link that was posted by RTR few posts ago, and this is from the article:

TPD officers were called to the residence in the 1300 block of 17th Avenue East at 11:28 p.m., according to the release. They noted damage to both vehicles and found probable cause to charge Anderson and Sierra Patterson, both 20, with third-degree domestic violence/criminal mischief. The domestic violence charge indicates that the two are, or were, involved in a dating relationship.
Neither of the two exhibited signs of physical injury, Blankley said.

She was arrested too? This case is going no where.

Every arrest is serious, but this is just an argument that resulted in property damage. Not the end of the world, but certainly will put him in the dog house.

You never know what reaction somebody is going to have to this.

"Don't you ignore me!!!!" *smashes car* "You ain't no man"

Sounds like Ryan got a raw deal. His car got keyed and "hailed" on while he just got a good kick. Definitely didn't get his money's worth out of it like his girlfriend.

uaintn · Jan 20, 2015

That sounds like cops taking everyone downtown to simmer down/cool off for a little while before someone says or does something that makes it a lot more serious. Perhaps Ryan and Sierra should date other people for a while. You may not even have community service for a silly little fracas like this. Still, when you are a Crimson Tide football player it's life in the fish bowl.

My wife is a councilor for Domestic Violence victims and THAT is not to be taken lightly, I can assure you. There are pitiful situations. However, there are so many things categorized as violence that it loses is meaning for me. Verbal abuse, mental abuse, mental cruelty & etc are all called violent. I don't agree with that, but that is how it is. So, like crying wolf, when violence actually occurs it gets belittled, I think.

Exactly. Why didn't they just charge them both with property damage?
