Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga has been charged with assault stemming from a downtown Cincinnati bar incident. The 25-year-old was cited with the misdemeanor count on Friday after investigating allegations by a bar employee that Maualuga punched him in the face early last Sunday morning. Maualuga was fined by the NFL two game checks and part of his signing bonus in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to drunken driving charges in northern Kentucky.
