PHILADELPHIA -- Longtime NFL defensive end Raheem Brock was arrested in his hometown of Philadelphia after a dispute at a restaurant.

Police Lt. Raymond Evers says Brock ran out on a $27 bar tab at Copabanana on Thursday.

Bartender Rob Harris tells WTXF-TV that Brock's party was asked to leave after one of them brought in food from another eatery. Harris says they told the waitress they weren't going to pay the bar tab.

Harris didn't immediately return a telephone message left by The Associated Press at the restaurant Friday night.

Court documents indicate Brock is charged with theft and resisting arrest. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.

Brock played for the Seattle Seahawks last year after several seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.

Another example of some athlete trying to stand up for some kind of perceived right and looking like an idiot in the process.

Wouldn't it have just been a lot easier to just pay the $27 tab and just never go back if you don't like the service? Instead, he gets himself arrested and draws a bunch of negative publicity to himself and the sport.

This reminds me of the college football player who just got himself arrested for trespassing and other charges because he didn't like being asked to pull up his freaking pants. Pulling up your pants when your underwear are showing and pay your damn bar tab. Is this too difficult of a concept?

I hope it was worth it. But, somehow, I doubt it was.
