An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued for a bizarre incident involving two former Eagles players.
This is a weird one.
Lito Sheppard is a longtime Eagles corner who had plenty of memorable plays in Philadelphia. The other guy involved is Jabar Gaffney, who never played a regular-season game in Philly and whose tenure in town is most memorable for an incident on the Walt Whitman Bridge involving an illegal handgun.
The two both grew up in Jacksonville, attended the same high school and both played football at the University of Florida. You'd think that'd make them good pals. Not so.
They apparently have some sort of longstanding feud that stems from allegations of Sheppard having an affair with Gaffney's wife, according to WJXT. Sheppard denies that being true. That leads us to the June incident that led to the arrest warrant. From WJXT in Jacksonville:
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former NFL player Jabar Gaffney, who is charged with felony criminal mischief in the vandalism of his former teammate's BMW, the I-TEAM learned Thursday.
Someone slashed the tires of Lito Sheppard's BMW and poured a contaminant into the gas tank while the car was parked outside a Jacksonville Beach restaurant June 17, causing $14,000 in damage.
There's video footage of the incident, which Gaffney has denied, but there was apparently enough to convince the police otherwise.
