Marvin Driver Jr, father of professional football player Donald Driver, is in the hospital after being battered by Houston, Texas, police officers who arrested him for traffic warrants, according to the Driver family. A spokesman for the family says Driver Jr was in police custody on his way to jail when officers pulled into an area behind a gas station, beat him unconscious and forced him to swallow an unidentified pill.

As you may have guessed, the police have a different story.

Police said Driver was arrested for outstanding traffic warrants and was found to be "unresponsive" upon his arrival at jail. Paramedics transported him to the hospital, they said. The Houston Police Department said in a written statement it takes the assault allegations "very seriously, and will begin a thorough investigation into the matter."

The Driver family says there is bleeding on Donald Jr's brain and that he's currently not able to speak.
