SAN FRANCISCO - Hours before he was arrested for assault, a manager at a San Francisco restaurant says he had to boot former 49er Bruce Miller after the player got in a fight over a sandwich.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/2cbShwL) no one was hurt in the fight early Monday.

Tommy's Joynt Manager Eddie Martin says Miller had no money and wanted sandwiches from guests.

Later Monday police were called to a hotel after Miller tried to enter a room occupied by an elderly couple. The couple's adult son, staying in the next room, told Miller he was at the wrong room.

Police say Miller, who was intoxicated at the time, attacked the son and his 70-year-old father. The father was punched by Miller and both men were taken to the hospital. Later that afternoon, the 49ers released Miller from the team.
