As of Saturday afternoon, Bates remained at Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he was taken for a psychiatric evaluation, according to the New York Post. That's when Bates refused to comply with police and a sergeant at the 115th Precinct was brought in to calm the suspect down. "He then allegedly punched a sergeant. causing a laceration above the cop's left eye".

According to Aiello, the charges filed against Bates include second-degree assault, obstructing governmental administration, theft of services and resisting arrest.

On Saturday Detroit Lions executive vice president and general manager, Bob Quinn, released a statement in response to the arrest of the team's linebacker Trevor Bates. "We have not spoken to Trevor as of yet and are still in the process of gathering more information".

A linebacker on the Detroit Lions is facing up to seven years in prison having he assaulted a police officer in Queens, authorities said Saturday. Upon arrival, the former seventh-round draft pick was placed under arrest for refusing to pay the driver.
