Warren Sapp has been busted in Phoenix, Arizona for soliciting prostitutes after yesterday's Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Sapp - an NFL Hall of Fame defensive tackle and now an analyst with NFL Network - was arrested around 7 a.m. after an alleged fracas involving two hookers, which saw the former Buccaneer legend arrested for two counts of assault and one count of solicitation. He has also reportedly been suspended indefinitely from the NFL Network. And, if nothing else, this appears to clear up any doubt you may've had as whether hiring two hookers at once counted as a single misdemeanor, as opposed to two separate charges.

As TMZ report, police say that two women told authorities that "they were at the hotel "as escorts" and went to Sapp's room, where an argument broke out over money."
The site reports that the pair say that there was a physical confrontation and that "the women had injuries consistent with a struggle."
TMZ add that 42 year old Sapp was "questioned and admitted involvement in the act of prostitution, but denied assaulting the females."

As The Bleacher Report say, "ABC15 confirmed with Phoenix police that Sapp was arrested on one count of solicitation of a prostitute and two counts of assault."
"Sapp reportedly met two women in the lobby of the hotel before they went back up to his hotel room. They started discussing money and some type of altercation occurred. The victims then left the hotel and flagged down an officer to report the incident."
According to deadline.com Sapp has been suspended following his arrest, with NFL Network releasing a statement saying "Warren Sapp has been suspended indefinitely without pay from NFL Network pending the outcome of ongoing police investigation."
They report that former Dancing With The Stars contestant and swear-inducing TV commercial participant Sapp is "being held on one count of solicitation and two counts of assault following an overnight incident at the hotel."
And, as Sapp works for the NFL, it also means that Sapp will fall under the NFL's new Code of Conduct policy.
New Code of Conduct policy applies to all NFL employees, including analysts like Warren Sapp.

As The New York Post report, it's not the first run in with the law for Sapp, as the former Buccaneer "was previously arrested for domestic battery in 2010, but those charges were dropped. He was also arrested for an alleged domestic battery in Miami last year."
So... was it Warren Sapp or the prostitutes who weren't up for whatever?
