Barret Robbins played nine seasons for the Raiders, but is best remembered for disappearing at the Super Bowl.
Former Oakland Raiders center Barret Robbins was arrested Monday after being shot over the weekend during a struggle with a police officer investigating a burglary at a South Beach office building.
Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said prosecutors are expected to file formal charges of battery on an officer and trespassing against the former All-Pro, who is best known for disappearing the night before the 2003 Super Bowl.
Prosecutors were not available for comment Monday because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Robbins was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, according to his agent, Drew Pittman. Hospital officials declined comment.
Robbins, 31, was shot several times in the torso during a "violent struggle" with a Miami Beach detective Saturday night, Hernandez said. Robbins was confronted in a second-floor office in a building that also houses a nightclub, gym and jewelry store.
Detective Mike Muley, who fired the shots, had minor head injuries from the scuffle and was treated at a hospital and released.
In 2003, Robbins spent Super Bowl Sunday in a hospital and later acknowledged that he had stopped taking his medicine for depression and bipolar disorder. The Raiders lost 48-21 to Tampa Bay.
The often-troubled player was released by Oakland in July 2004, a week after he and two other NFL players were fined three game checks for testing positive for the steroid THG.
Robbins was arrested last month in San Francisco for hitting a security guard at a nightclub.
Robbins played nine pro seasons with Oakland. He was an All-Pro and made the Pro Bowl after the 2002 season, but he did not play in the game. A year after missing the final 14 games of 2001 with an injured right knee, he was a pivotal part of a line that helped the Raiders produce the league's top offense.
