Former Saints Security Director Withdraws Lawsuit, Case Goes To Arbitration

Geoffrey Santini, former Saints security director, filed a civil lawsuit against the Saints last week for "theft and improper distribution" of Vicodin pills. The two men involved were assistant coach Joe Vitt and head coach Sean Payton.

A week after the filing, the Saints have exercised a clause in Santini’s employment contract with the team that will send the case to arbitration rather than duking it out in civil court.

One big difference here is that sending the case to arbitration does not allow either side to publicly discuss the case.

Somehow I think leaks will get out anyway.
