According to the police report from Cuyahoga Sherrif’s Department, Groves was arrested on April 17 after negotiating the “full service” treatment from an officer posing as a prostitute. The parties had agreed on the price over the phone. Police seized $195.70 and a box of condoms as evidence.
Groves signed a two-year contract worth $2.8 million with the Browns in March. The former second round pick has played with three different teams in his five years in the league. Last year, he had 46 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble during his only season with the Arizona Cardinals.
Groves’ court date is set for May 10. The Browns reportedly could not be reached for comment.
