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

Copabanana bartender Rob Harris tells WTXF-TV that Brock’s party was asked to leave the restaurant Thursday after one of them brought in food from another eatery. Harris didn’t immediately return a telephone message left by The Associated Press at the restaurant Friday night.

Harris tells the station they told the waitress they weren’t going to pay the $27 bar tab.

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.
