Former NFLer charged with felony domestic assault

Nashville -- Derrick Mason, 43, played 15 seasons in the NFL and has been charged with felony aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor vandalism. 

According to Metro Nashville Police, Mason turned himself in last Monday night.

Police said a 43-year-old woman told detectives that same morning Mason grabbed her by the neck and punched her in the stomach when she told him she wanted to end their relationship.

Detectives noted bruising on her right upper arm, a scratch on top of her hand, a red mark on her neck and a hole in a door.

The former wide receiver started with Tennessee before playing six seasons with Baltimore. In his final season in 2011, he split 12 games between the Jets and Titans.
