The NFL star was reportedly trying to use the bathroom at the W Scottsdale but was not allowed to enter, and a scuffle ensued. According to ESPN, police stated Seals-Jones seemed intoxicated and had “bloodshot watery eyes.” The tight end had allegedly gotten past ropes and stanchions that had been placed at the entranced to a restaurant adjoining the hotel to prevent non-guests from going inside.

Hotel employees then confronted Seals-Jones and told him he could not enter, but the Cardinals star fought back by allegedly shoving the staffers.

The hotel’s surveillance footage showed the tight end and staffers quickly exiting the restaurant and toppling over benches. Seals-Jones was eventually tackled to the ground, the video demonstrated.

On July 4, general manager Steve Keim was arrested in Arizona for a suspected DUI. Keim pleaded guilty and was jailed Tuesday evening in Phoenix. The Cardinals have since suspended Keim for five weeks and he has been fined $200,000.
