Mark Walton, a former NFL running back, was arrested after he allegedly got into an altercation at a Pizza Hut in Miami on Sunday night. He was charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct after he tried breaking a glass window and then getting into a fight with a family member who tried to hold him back.

Walton, 23, attempted to break the glass window at the Pizza Hut at 11 p.m. on Sunday. Walton told cops that he was "disrespected over the phone by one of the employees." That’s when he decided to go to the restaurant in person to confront the workers, according to TMZ Sports.
