Now it appears that Galette may again be in trouble with the law. Police in Biloxi arrested Galette, 29, in Biloxi over accusations of disorderly conduct and failure to comply with police orders after allegedly getting in a fight at the MGM Park minor-league baseball stadium, which was featuring several musical performances. Ralph Whalen, Galette’s attorney, confirmed Monday that he had been notified of his client’s arrest but failed to give further details of the incident. He stated that Galette had already been bailed out of jail. TMZ reported that policed subdued Galette with stun gun after he allegedly assaulted another concert-goer and then attempted to flee. The linebacker played five seasons with the Saints before signing a contract with the Washington Redskins. He was sidelined last season with torn Achilles tendons. What defines disorderly conduct?
