Reuben Foster charged with domestic abuse, allegedly ruptured woman’s ear drum
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been charged with felony domestic abuse stemming from an incident he was arrested for back in February.
A press release from the District Attorney’s Office in Santa Clara stated that Foster physically attacked a 28-year-old woman and left her with a ruptured ear drum and bruises.

Foster’s February arrest was his second in the span of a month, as he was also detained on Jan. 12 in Alabama and charged with second-degree marijuana possession.
The 49ers recently stood by Foster in the wake of all of his off-field trouble, but team CEO Jed York issued somewhat of a warning to the former Alabama star. Given the disturbing allegations Foster is facing, it would not be a surprise if disciplinary action is handed down.
