PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert has released a statement on outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo following his arrest over the weekend.
“In regard to the recent incident involving Anthony Chickillo, we will continue to gather information, and we will fully cooperate with the NFL’s investigation. Any discipline involving the player will be determined after the gathering of further information from law enforcement and the League Office.”
The incident happened at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and involved Chickillo and his girlfriend Alysha Newman, according to a criminal complaint.
It reportedly began after the couple got into an argument over table games at the Lady Luck Casino.

Newman says she only did so after Chickillo had grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
Chickillo is charged with simple assault, criminal mischief and harassment and was released on $10,000 bail.
