The son of former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was arrested at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines on Saturday and charged with battery, according to police records and his attorney.
Michael P. Ditka, 53, of Deerfield, was released by police shortly after the arrest and is due to appear in Cook County court next month.
No further details on the allegation were immediately available, but Ditka's longtime attorney, Robert Ritacca, said the charge was a misdemeanor and stemmed from "a fight or an argument." Ritacca said the alleged incident was not domestic in nature.
The younger Ditka has had several run-ins with the law in Lake County, where he lives, including three DUI arrests between 2004 and 2011, court records show. He received court supervision and fines in the 2004 arrest and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, reckless driving, in a 2008 arrest, for which he received probation. A 2011 aggravated DUI case was dropped.
Ditka pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery in Lake County court in 1998 stemming from a charge the previous year in which authorities said he pushed his then-girlfriend while they were watching a New Orleans Saints football game. His father coached the team at the time. Michael Ditka received court supervision in that case as well.
A casino spokesman declined to comment on the most recent arrest.
