Jets receiver Robby Anderson was arrested Sunday at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, according to a report. Anderson is charged with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and also obstruction of justice.
Additional details on the incident are not yet available. Florida radio host Andy Slater was the first to report the arrest.
"We are aware of the situation," a Jets spokesperson told NJ Advance Media. "This is a pending legal matter, and we will have no further comment at this time."
Anderson posted this photo Instagram Sunday afternoon. He tagged himself to Bayfront Park, where the festival was held.
Anderson, 23, signed with the Jets last year as an undrafted free agent out of Temple. He made the team as a long shot, but quickly found a role on offense when Eric Decker was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Anderson caught 42 passes for 587 yards and two touchdowns.
This offseason, the Jets released veteran Brandon Marshall. With Decker still working his way back from shoulder and hip surgeries, Anderson figured to slide in as the No. 2 receiver. Quincy Enunwa and Charone Peake are also expected to compete for playing time.
The Jets already have two players serving suspensions to start the year. Tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins will miss the first two games after violating the league's personal conduct policy. Receiver Jalin Marshall will miss the first four games after violating the league's policy for performance enhancing drugs. A third Jet, cornerback Nick Marshall, was also suspended to start the year, but the team waived him on Thursday.
The Jets used two draft picks on receivers earlier this month. They first selected Alabama's ArDarius Stewart in the third round, then Cal's Chad Hansen in the fourth.
