GM: Saints following Galette legal process

Published

on

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said the team will let the legal process play out before making any decisions on outside linebacker Junior Galette.

Galette was charged with domestic violence after a dispute with a woman at his home in Kenner, La., on Monday.

“We’re going to take this matter very seriously,” Loomis said Tuesday morning at a press conference scheduled before Galette’s arrest. “We’re going to let law enforcement and the legal process run its course.”

Loomis said the team needed more information before taking action. As of Tuesday afternoon, the team had not been in contact directly with Galette.

“If at some point we deem it necessary for the club to take some action, we’ll do that,” Loomis said.

Loomis, who said the team was very disappointed to finish 7-9, would not confirm the status of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

Galette described the woman to police as a “dancer,” but the Kenner Police Department said the unnamed alleged victim told authorities she was a girlfriend and personal assistant to Galette.

The NFL established clear, firm guidelines for discipline in domestic incidents that result in a six-game suspension for first-time offenders.

Galette’s cousin, Terrance Banks, was also taken into custody and charged with simple battery according to Kenner Police.

Police arrived at Galette’s home at 8:26 a.m. and said the woman was in front of the house. Galette reportedly told police the woman refused to leave his property without cab fare.

Galette, 26, signed a $41 million contract extension in September. He joined the team as an undrafted free agent. His contract includes $23 million guaranteed.

The 26-year-old played college football at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He was born in Haiti. He transferred to Stillman from Temple, where he was charged with theft of laptop computers in an incident that also involved his cousin.
