Redskins' Haynesworth Charged With a Moment of Road Rage

Redskins' Haynesworth Charged With a Moment of Road RageTo say that Washington Redskins' defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth had a tumultuous season would be an understatement.

With the changing of his team's defensive schemes, he tried to protest and head coach Mike Shanahan made him jump through hoops to get his starting spot back. The drama lasted through the season, ending with Haynesworth being suspended for the last four games. Now that the season is over, it appears the drama is still following Haynesworth.

According to the Washington Post, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Haynesworth on charges of assault stemming from a road rage incident with another motorist on the Fairfax County Parkway in Reston, Virginia.

According to the complaint, the incident occurred on Wednesday morning when a man driving a Honda Civic gave a "non-verbal gesture" to Haynesworth for following too close, who was driving a pickup truck, at a stoplight. Haynesworth then allegedly got out of the truck, went over to the Civic, yelled at the driver, punched him, got back in his truck and drove off. Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, is denying all the allegations.
"Albert did not put his hands on anyone," Speck told NFL.com. "These allegations are completely false. This is a case of someone looking to get his 15 minutes of fame at Albert's expense."

Haynesworth plans to turn himself in this week.
