Ex-49er faces felony charges in argument over soy sauce and underpants

San Francisco Chronicle / 1-28-13

Former 49ers and Raiders tackle Kwame Harris faces charges that he assaulted his boyfriend at a Menlo Park restaurant after an argument involving soy sauce and underpants, San Mateo County prosecutors said Monday.

The ex-football player got incensed when Geier (the boyfriend) tried to put soy sauce on Harris' rice, said Al Serrato, a San Mateo County prosecutor.

Serrato said the men were romantically involved and previously had lived together. Geier, a resident of Los Angeles, was visiting Harris at the time of the altercation, said Craig Charles, Geier's attorney.

During the restaurant argument, Harris accused Geier of stealing his underwear, Serrato said. Harris then tried to pull down Geier's pants, the prosecutor said.

According to the article, the argument turned violent when Harris pinned Geier against a window and hit him several times in the head. Geier sustained complex compound facial fractures that required surgery and the insertion of a metal plate.
