Troubled New England Patriot Willie Andrews is behind bars again after allegedly holding a powerful handgun to his fiancee's head when she accused him of cheating on her.
The couple were arguing when the 24-year-old Pats defensive back allegedly pulled a .45-caliber Glock, waved it around and then held it to her temple, the 23-year-old woman told police.
She called cops at about 1:40 a.m. yesterday after her alleged ordeal at Andrews' apartment at 10 Connors Ave. in Mansfield.
"At some point during the argument, the handgun went up to the area of her temple," Mansfield police said in a statement.
Cops said the woman fled to a local hotel with her child after the incident. Andrews was later seen by officers talking to the woman in the hotel parking lot but drove away in his car when he saw police cruisers.
He was arrested at his apartment soon afterward, and a .45 Glock was later found near a Dumpster outside his apartment complex, police said.
Andrews was arraigned yesterday at Attleboro District Court on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a high-capacity firearm without a Firearm Identification Card.
He was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing at Attleboro District Court on Thursday.
The New England Patriots [team stats] refused comment.
Gregg Miliote, spokesman for Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter, confirmed the woman's statement to police that the argument was triggered when she accused Andrews of cheating.
The woman told police she and Andrews had been engaged for a month and a half, had been together for three years and have a child together, the Attleboro Sun-Chronicle reported.
It is the second time the Patriots defensive back has gone afoul of the law this offseason.
In February, just two days after the Patriots' Super Bowl defeat, Andrews was busted in Lowell for driving around with a half-pound of marijuana and $6,800 in cash in his car. That case was continued without a finding.
Andrews was also jailed for 30 days in his native Texas after being caught by cops with a .25-caliber pistol in the trunk of his car while on probation for a criminal mischief conviction.
