MIAMI BEACH —\u00a0Andrew Quarless, a tight end for the Green Bay Packers, was arrested by Miami Beach Police Saturday after he allegedly fired two shots into the air.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Media, officers responded to a call after two shots were fired in the 500th block of Lenox Avenue in Miami Beach, following an argument between two males and a group of women near a parking garage.<\/p>\n

Police said the 26-year-old athlete got into an exchange of words in the early morning hours Saturday when he approached a car filled with several women.<\/p>\n

Quarless got out of his black Porsche and approached the women’s vehicle after they left a parking garage, according to the police report obtained by the Miami Herald newspaper. Quarless got into an argument with the women and fired two rounds into the air.<\/p>\n

Police later found the black Porsche a few blocks away. Quarless was alleged to be attempting to hide the gun in a potted plant near a local tavern. Police matched rounds from the gun to those found near the parking garage.<\/p>\n

There were no injuries, according to police.<\/p>\n

Later on Saturday, the Packers released the following statement: “We are aware of the matter involving Andrew Quarless and are in the process of gathering more information. We will withhold further comment.”<\/p>\n

Quarless is still in police custody.<\/p>\n
