So many charges against Chargers
SAN DIEGO (AP) _ Chargers practice squad cornerback Markus Curry was released by the team Monday, just hours after he was arrested on suspicion of committing domestic violence.
It was the fifth run-in with the law by a Chargers player since April, and the first time the team reacted by dropping the player.
Curry was arrested following a traffic stop, according to San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Monica Munoz. He was booked into San Diego Central Jail on a count of inflicting bodily injury to a spousal cohabitant and held in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said he had no details but that word of the arrest was discouraging.
While at Michigan in 2001, Curry was suspended after being charged with domestic violence. He was sentenced to one year probation. In 2002, he was one of two Wolverines players shot at a campus-area party.
Chargers outside linebacker Steve Foley was shot three times outside his suburban home on Sept. 3 by an off-duty Coronado police officer who suspected him of drunk driving. Foley is out for the season and will lose at least $775,000 in pay.
In April, Foley was arrested for scuffling with a San Diego police officer. Linebacker Shaun Phillips was arrested in a similar incident the same month. Neither was charged with any crime.
Starting strong safety Terrence Kiel was arrested at team headquarters in September and charged with five felony counts of mailing codeine-based cough syrup to Texas. He has pleaded not guilty.

Almost starts to sound like the Bam Morris/Tamrick Vanover Chiefs era right before Marty left KC. Maybe his lack of control of his players is a dead giveaway to his eventual departure?
