Pro Bowl halfback Ahman Green
Green was taken into custody after sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call from someone at Green’s home who hung up the phone. When authorities arrived at the Town of Ledgeview home, they determined that a domestic violence incident had occurred and took Green into custody.
There were signs Tuesday that Walker would not be in attendance when minicamp opened today, but Drew Rosenhaus, Walker's agent, declined to say whether his client would attend the team's five-day minicamp this week or use a holdout to advance his aim of receiving a contract upgrade.
Green did attend Nebraska, which taught him good football and good domestic violence.

Got tickets in the resident's lottery. I will know what game in June.
You have been rather voiceless on the draft. I for one think the draft does not matter. Look at how many first rounders amount to nothing.

You forgot Al Harris:
Report: Al Harris Investigated for Sexual Assault
Two Green Bay Packers are facing legal troubles this morning. Ahman Green was arrested earlier this week for disorderly conduct (see related story) and now a Miami newspaper reports cornerback Al Harris is being investigated on accusations of sexual assault.
Both these stories are developing as the Packers veterans start minicamp Wednesday.
The Miami Herald reports a dancer from a strip club in Pompano Beach, Florida, claims Harris sexually assaulted her on April 17th inside a private room of the club where Harris and the woman were with a group of people.
The newspaper says the woman went to a hospital several hours after the alleged incident and was sent to a sexual assault treatment center where she filed a police report.
The case is still being investigated so no charges have been filed at this time.
Harris's agent, Jack Bechta, told Action 2 News the accusations are totally false and that Harris has not even been contacted by investigators. Bechta called it a witch hunt. He said, "This sensational allegation doesn't even merit a response."
Action 2 News contacted the Broward County Sheriff's Department but our calls were not returned.
Bechta said it will be business as usual when Harris reports to minicamp today.

Green isn't quite in Lawrence Phillips/Tyrone Williams category yet. He hasn't dragged anyone down a flight of stairs or shot a gun at a loaded car. I've got my fingers crossed.
I haven't said much about the draft. I'm thinking about doing a separate Packer blog. There's this all sports blog thing going on, but I don't know if I have the time.
If I know anything about football and the law, it's that up to 2 star players can force themselves onto an exotic dancer without consequence. James Lofton and Eddie Lee Ivery won a Supreme Court case in Wisconsin on that point.
