ELLSWORTH, Wis. -- Kansas City Chiefs kicker Lawrence Tynes was charged Wednesday with breaking a bouncer's nose in a bar fight, a felony with a maximum penalty of 3½ years in prison.

Tynes, the NFL's first Scottish-born player, turned himself in Wednesday morning and made his first appearance in Pierce County Circuit Court on one felony count of substantial battery and one count of misdemeanor battery. He was released on a $15,000 signature bond.

He practiced with the team Wednesday. Practice broke up before word of the criminal charges got out.

The fight allegedly took place early Sunday morning at a bar in River Falls, where the Chiefs have their training camp.

A police report said Tynes hit a bar patron in the face, then hit the bouncer in the nose.

Tynes was charged after police received medical reports, River Falls Police Capt. John Stapleton said. Wisconsin law provides for a felony battery charge if the victim has a bone broken.

Two other players, defensive tackle Junior Siavii and safety Greg Wesley, were arrested early Sunday after allegedly getting into a drunken confrontation with police in a Minneapolis hotel. Each is charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, and Siavii is also charged with a misdemeanor count of fifth-degree assault.

Tynes won the kicking job from veteran Morten Andersen last season but has struggled in training camp this year.

At least it wasn't a slap fight like Lowery and whats-his-face got into on the sidelines.

So, is 2005 the year of the felon in Kansas City?

Apparently, we are trying to outbeat 1998.

Next thing you'll know, Chris Bober is the head of a ring smuggling Jamaicans into New York City.

Why not everything is a felony now anyway. I like how being better at fighting gets you the felony charge. Gotta love a kicker that can break a bouncers nose. I am a big Tynes fan now.

He can connect with his right arm know if he can just concentrate
on the right foot and things should be ok!!

Would that be a technicality? I mean, a nose is just cartilage, right? So, technically, he didn't break any bones.

Who wins in a fight between Tynes and Donks punter Todd Steroidbrun

Depends on how much Tynes has had to drink I think.

Put our boy (Todd) back on the roids and we can have a cage match.

This is what Holthus alluded to Monday morning on Des Moines radio.

He sais something about Tynes' weekend "off the field" but then acted like he shouldn't have said anything.
