Video has surfaced showing the February arrest of former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Branden Albert in Atlanta.

According to police, Albert got into an altercation with arresting officers after he punched a hole in the wall of a jewelry store and threatened the owner. TMZ Sports obtained police body cam footage of the arrest, during which Albert was tasered twice.

Police say he pulled the prongs out of his back, got up, and was tackled by an officer after a short chase, but the clip doesn't include those events.

Albert was arrested on charges of criminal damage to property and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, and is due back in court later in June. He hasn't played in the NFL since the 2016 season.
