DENVER -- Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Montae Reagor surrendered to authorities on an arrest warrant charging him with harassment and telephone threats to a former girlfriend, police said.

Reagor was released on bond after his arrest Saturday and played Sunday in the Colts' 33-14 loss to the Broncos.

The woman, who lives in the Denver area, told investigators that Reagor called her repeatedly, attempting to persuade her to drop a case in which she has sued the player for child support for a 2-year-old son they had together. Attorney Karin Chatfield said Reagor owed more than $60,000 in support.

"We were aware of the situation," Colts coach Tony Dungy said Sunday. "They contacted us. We went through the authorities and did everything right."

A message was left Monday at the office of Reagor's agent, Jeff Nalley.

Reagor played for the Broncos from 1999-02 and signed with the Colts as a free agent before the 2003 season.

Big deal... These stories really don't even need to be ran IMO. People are obviously interested because he's a professional athlete but in this case doesn't sound like that big of a deal.

Calling someone repeatedly to get them to drop a lawsuit is hardly newsworthy considering it probably goes on 3000 times daily in the US

Tony Dungy actually let the guy play? I lost a lot of respect for Dungy watching him let his team lay down like dogs yesterday and even more after hearing this story. Go Broncos.

You can't bench people for supposedly doing something. He was arrested and released on bond... Until he's actually convicted... It's really no concern of the NFL since he hasn't violated any NFL rules and probably hasn't violated any team rules.

All of this is speculation. You guys really jump on these professional athletes awful quickly. Makes me wonder what you guys do in your personal time and in your life that gives you the authority to crticize what others do with their life.

They are not going to arrest the guy without probable cause. Do you think the girlfriend looked at the schedule and planned this in advance? The guy is $60,000 behind in child support. He rolls out of jail in time to catch the team meetings and that's ok?

I'm not saying the man didn't do anything but none of us know. So he's 60,000 behind on child support... That stinks but I'm sure he's going to pay it now (since he has to LOL)

Dungy did the right thing in my opinion. We don't know what Dungy said to him behind the scenes. He was arrested...not convicted.

And when he is convicted he still won't receive anything from the NFL...It's only child support. It's not a rape, murder, or drug conviction.

Anyway... Everyone is always so quick to criticize professional athletes everytime they get in trouble like they're not allowed to have problems or be normal. Afterall...It's really nobody's business what these guys do.

They're paid to put on a show on sundays.
