Richard Jefferson was officially arrested and charged with assault on Wednesday for an incident that happened at a Minneapolis hotel several months ago.

It's a little odd that it took this long for the other shoe to drop, but it may have something to do with the fact that Lyle Fox, the alleged victim, initially requested the police not be involved -- according to the hotel incident report (PDF), Jefferson choked Fox during a brief physical altercation, but after Jefferson left, Fox asked a hotel employee not to contact police because "he was not 'OK' with the cops."

I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided he's "OK" with lawsuits once he realized RJ banks over $12 million a year. We'll see.
