A report in a Brazoria country website states that Houston Texans returner/receiver Jerome Mathis was arrested late Sunday for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend late Friday night. She declined to press charges, but under state law, the state can file charges in a domestic violence case. The Texans are further investigating this matter before they make a statement.

Mathis has already been in the Texans doghouse for maturity issues. After a breakout season where he was All Pro as a returner, he injured his hands riding a motorcycle. In his rookie season, he got into a fistfight with TE Marcellus Rivers on the team bus. After 2005, he spent the most of the next two season on IR with various leg problems.

Before last season, Mathis claimed that he was maturing and that all his problems were behind him. Or not. He received citations in December for his pit bull escaping and threatening people, and also in January for another escape.

I guess this will end up being yet another reason why the Texans will want to re-sign returner/receiver Andre Davis. Mathis already has been tagged as someone who can't stay healthy, and his latest issues with the law if true might be the end of Mathis as a Texan.
