Former Panthers LB Mark Fields Accused of Choking the Mother of His 6 Year Child Written by: Robert Littal

If you recall Mark Fields was an undersized middle linebacker for the Carolina Panthers for many years.
He was one of those type of players who was told he would never be big enough to succeed in the NFL, but overcame those long odds.
He has been retired for a few years and basically fell off the map until today. 
TMZ.com has learned Fields was arrested for alledgely choking and beating the mother of his 6 year daughter outside of a daycare facility.  Here are the details:

According to police docs — obtained by TMZ — witnesses say Mark confronted his ex outside a childcare facility near Phoenix, Arizona … where he allegedly proceeded to beat her, put her in a chokehold, throw her on the ground, and then threaten to kill her.
Cops claim both Mark’s baby mama and young daughter were seen by paramedics for mild injuries.
According to the docs, Mark’s ex claims she was dropping off court-ordered paperwork when Mark showed up and went ballistic. Mark — who was allegedly violating an order of protection by showing up — told cops his ex-GF had tried to take his daughter from his arms.
The former linebacker is charged with aggravated assault, endangerment, disorderly conduct, and interfering with an educational institution. He was released from jail yesterday.

As I have pointed out many times you never who these guys really are off the field.
Fields in his playing days was heralded as one of the good guys and pillars of the community.
Which could be true, but obviously there is a bit of a dark side to him as well if the mother of his child felt the need to have a protection order against him.
If these charges are proven to be true he needs to be in jail with the rest of the men who believe they need to use force to get a woman to do what they want.
