Winslow will be arraigned on Friday.

So far, authorities have not provided further details on the alleged crimes.

Winslow's arrest came exactly a week after he was arrested for burglary at a mobile home park in the San Diego area.

The former Pro Bowler and the namesake of the legendary San Diego Chargers tight end was seen walking onto someone's property at a mobile home park north of San Diego.

Winslow was confronted by a neighbor and fled the scene in a black SUV, according to The San Diego Union Tribune.
