Trent Williams assault leads to nightclub owner arrest

Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams sat out Sunday's Pro Bowl after sustaining injuries in a nightclub incident earlier last week. Now the owner of the nightclub has been charged in connection with the alleged assault, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Michael Miske Jr., owner of the M Nightlife nightclub in Honolulu's Restaurant Row district, is believed to have struck Williams in the head with a champagne bottle, giving Williams a laceration that required seven stitches, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Miske, 38, was arrested Saturday and charged Monday with second-degree assault. His bail was set at $250,000. Following the incident, players in Hawaii for the NFC's Pro Bowlwere warned to stay away from the club.

Williams was replaced on the Pro Bowl roster by Minnesota Vikings rookie Matt Kalil.
