Ex-Chief Tamarick Vanover accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend

Tamarick Vanover is in trouble ... again.
  • Tamarick Vanover finds trouble.
Former Kansas City Chief Tamarick Vanover is in trouble again. This time, the former wide receiver is charged with beating his girlfriend, who is almost nine months' pregnant, according to the Tallahassee Democrat (h/t: KC Chiefs Blog).

Vanover is charged with domestic aggravated battery for allegedly repeatedly punching the woman and threatening to kill her (the woman claims Vanover has a history of violence). He was released on $2,500 bail.

That figure alone is a slap in the face to domestic-violence victims. How does a guy, who has previously pleaded no contest to a battery charge in 1993 and has a record that includes a two-month stint in prison for bankrolling such off-field ventures as marijuana and stolen-car rings, get off so easy?

Vanover is denying the charges, claiming that the woman was hitting him and fell down when he put his arms up to defend himself.
