TAMPA, Fla. -- The San Francisco 49ers are releasing linebacker Reuben Foster after he was arrested late Saturday night at the team hotel on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.
The arrest report from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office said Foster was arrested Saturday at 9:10 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Tampa and booked into jail two hours later. Foster's bond was set at $2,000 during a bail hearing Sunday morning along with orders to avoid any contact with the accuser.
Foster's latest arrest comes on the heels of a tumultuous offseason in which he was arrested on charges of felony domestic violence stemming from a February incident at his home in Los Gatos.
Niners general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan stood by Foster as the previous domestic violence case played out but both were emphatic that any more issues would likely result in Foster's release.
On Sunday morning, the 49ers followed through on that.
