BOCA RATON, Fla. -- A night of pizza and alcohol turned into a violent beating of a woman by former Miami Dolphins wide receiver David Boston, according to a Boca Raton police report.
The report said Boston, who played for the Dolphins in 2004-05, punched a woman twice in the head, leaving a gash big enough to require 10 stitches after the Tuesday night incident in the 21000 block of Cromwell Circle.


The woman who lived in the home where the alleged beating took place told police she got nervous after watching Boston, 33, down a bottle of vodka and a bottle of wine, adding that she also watched him take some sort of pills. At some point, that woman told her friend, who was the one who was later beaten that it would be OK for her to come over to hang out with her and Boston, the report said.
It's not known what precipitated the confrontation between Boston and the other woman, nor is it clear what his relationship with the alleged victim is. The woman who lived in the home told police that she and Boston have been "strictly friends" for several years, adding that he had been staying with her for six weeks but was planning to move out and live in a nearby hotel. When he was warned after the alleged beating that they were going to call the police, he ran off, the report said.

Officers eventually caught up with Boston, who now faces an aggravated battery charge.
Boston was a football star at Ohio State, but enjoyed less success when he got to the NFL in 1999. He did make one Pro Bowl, while playing for Arizona in 2001, and also played for San Diego before suiting up for the Dolphins in 2004-05. He was known for on-field celebrations, off-field issues and humongous arms.
Boston played for Tampa Bay in 2006 before a 2007 DUI arrest that later revealed he'd tested positive for a substance banned by the NFL. He played in the CFL in 2008 but fell off the football radar after that.
