Bryant McKinnie, an offensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings, is out on bond Monday after getting into a fight in a Miami nightclub.
According to a report by the Miami Herald, McKinnie, 28, was ejected from Club Space by bouncer Eric Otero, 32. As he was being taken out of the establishment, McKinnie yelled obscenities and spit in Otero’s face according to police. Otero said if McKinnie left, he would not press charges.
After going to the strip club across the street, the former Miami All-American came back to Club Space and started arguing again with the bouncer.
McKinnie then spit on the face of Otero, shoved a camera phone into his face and then picked up a heavy pole and slammed it over Otero’s head.
McKinnie was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence. He was later released on $9,000 bond.
This was not the first time McKinnie has had a run in with the law. In 2005, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct after a rowdy team boat party on Lake Minnetonka.
