Just two days after Santa Clara police arrested Ray McDonald for domestic abuse and child endangerment, the former San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears defensive tackle has been taken in again. According to a statement by the Santa Clara Police department, McDonald was arrested Wednesday afternoon for violating the parameters of his restraining order.

McDonald’s restraining order came as the result of the original arrest on Monday, barring him from returning to the residence of the alleged victim in Santa Clara. In the statement, Santa Clara police claim he was found at a nearby Togo’s Sandwiches.

On Wednesday, May 27, 2015, at about 2:52 PM., Santa Clara Detectives learned Ray McDonald violated a restraining order for being at a residence in Santa Clara. Detectives later located Ray McDonald at a nearby Togo’s Sandwiches, 2203 Tasman Dr. in Santa Clara. Ray McDonald was arrested without incident and transported to Santa Clara Police Department for processing. He will be booked at Santa Clara County Jail.
The restraining order Ray McDonald violated was issued as a result of his earlier domestic violence and child endangerment arrest which occurred in Santa Clara on May 25, 2015.
This is an on-going investigation and further information will be released when it is available.

The Bears, who signed McDonald to a one-year contract earlier this offseason, cut the defensive tackle within hours of his arrest on Monday. The release marks the second time a team has severed ties with McDonald due to an arrest over the last seven months.
