The wife of former NFL linebacker Thomas Davis has been arrested following an alleged physical altercation with her husband's reported mistress in a North Carolina restaurant.
Kelly Davis, 40, faces charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct after the incident that took place at a popular dining establishment in Lake Norman. According to police reports obtained by DailyMail.com, the altercation occurred on September 5th when Mrs Davis allegedly confronted a woman she believed to be her husband's secret lover.
Shocking restaurant confrontation
Witnesses described a dramatic scene as Mrs Davis allegedly approached the other woman's table and initiated a physical confrontation. Restaurant staff reportedly intervened to separate the women before law enforcement arrived at the location.
Thomas Davis, 41, enjoyed a distinguished 16-season NFL career, primarily with the Carolina Panthers where he became a franchise icon and three-time Pro Bowl selection. The former linebacker was known for his remarkable comeback from three ACL tears in the same knee.
Marriage under scrutiny
