The estranged wife of former football star Deion Sanders was arrested on domestic violence-related charges Monday night, hours after Sanders sent a series of bizarre tweets saying she assaulted him.
In one of the messages posted on his verified Twitter account, Sanders even posted a picture of what he said were his children filling out complaints to give to police in Texas.
Pilar Sanders was booked into jail Monday night on suspicion of assault family violence, a misdemeanor, according to booking records at the Collin County Jail.
The couple has three children together. Sanders also has two other children from an earlier relationship.
The couple married in 1999 and starred in a reality show, "Deion & Pilar Prime Time Love," that aired on the Oxygen network.The marriage, however, soured, and the two are in the midst of a very public, bitter divorce.In February, Pilar Sanders filed a suit against her husband and his aunt, Laura Jones. She said the aunt attacked her in their 10-bedroom, 29,000-square-foot home in Prosper, Texas, while Deion Sanders watched.At the time, the two-sport star tweeted that his wife was the aggressor and the aunt was in the home merely to fix his phone.
Deion claims Pilar and her friend jumped him in front his two sons….and took to Twitter to prove his innocence:
Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She’s going to jail n I’m pressing charges!
I’m sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys. This is on my mama!
Filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth.
