Former New England Patriots fullback Patrick Pass recently was arrested for an alleged assault of an elderly man at a Providence, R.I., Planet Fitness, according to ABC6 Providence.
Police said the 46-year-old Pass got into a dispute with an 82-year-old man over a piece of exercise equipment and Pass allegedly pushed the man to ground, causing injuries to his back. The incident reportedly occurred on Aug. 28.
ABC6 Providence reported Pass was charged with assaulting a man over the age of 60 and causing bodily injury.
Pass was selected by the Patriots just one round after legendary quarterback Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft. Pass played seven seasons for the Patriots from 2000-07 and won three Super Bowl title during the first half of New England’s dynasty.

Pass is listed as the director of football personnel development for the Massachusetts Pirates, an Indoor Football League team based in the Bay State. Pass coached the Pirates in 2023 but was indefinitely suspended in July of that season when he and three players were involved in an altercation which took place in the stands, per The Boston Globe.
Pass isn’t the first Patriots Super Bowl champion to be arrested in Rhode Island this year. Malcolm Butler, the hero of Super Bowl XLIX, was arrested on driving under the influence of alcohol back in March.
