"ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Magic guard Darrell Armstrong was arrested early Monday after being accused of fighting with a female police officer outside a nightclub."

When Officer Teresa Joyce tried to get Armstrong out of the street after being declined a taxi, he briefly scuffled with her and other officers before being arrested, police said.

"Don't put your hands on me, that's all I'm saying,'' said Armstrong, whose shirt had a rip. "I only pistol whipped that 'ho - it was nothing.''

Armstrong will appear before court in Orange Country next month.
