Pearson released on $50,000 bond

Former Bucs safety Kalvin Pearson, arrested Saturday in Tampa on charges of domestic violence, was released on $50,000 bond, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's office records.

Pearson, 29, who signed a three-year deal with the Lions last month after three seasons with the Bucs, will likely be arraigned on a later date; he's facing two felony charges, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and domestic battery by strangulation, and a misdemeanor, obstructing or opposing an officer without violence.
