Ex-NFL Kicker charged with rape
AP ---Former Los Angeles Rams kicker Tony Zendejas was arrested early Thursday on charges of drugging and raping a female customer of his San Dimas sports bar in January.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said the 48-year-old Zendejas was arrested on felony warrants at his Yorba Linda home.
Deputy District Attorney Rouman Ebrahim said Zendejas was charged with one count each of rape by use of drugs, rape of an unconscious person, sodomy by anesthesia or controlled substance and sodomy of an unconscious victim.
Prosecutors alleged that on Jan. 26, Zendejas gave the customer a drink that made her groggy. The patron told authorities she woke up in a nearby motel room and alleged she had been raped.
Zendejas was later released from custody, said his attorney, Timothy Younger. Arraignment was scheduled for Friday at the Pomona courthouse.
