Former NBA star Jayson Williams was arrested early Monday after reportedly punching someone in the face outside of a North Carolina nightclub, according to the Associated Press.

Williams was charged with one count of simple assault and released on $1,000 bond, according to Raleigh police.

"He was very cooperative during the investigation and very cooperative during the arrest," said Capt. T.L. Earnhardt.

Williams is already facing a retrial on a charge of reckless manslaughter from the 2002 shooting death of his driver.
