MIAMI - MIAMI (AP) -- Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and current TV analyst Warren Sapp has been taken off the air while the NFL Network reviews a domestic battery allegation in Miami Beach.

Police said in a statement Saturday that Sapp has been charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery.

An arrest affidavit was not immediately available.
