According to the police report, Johnson allegedly head-butted his wife, "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, during an argument about a receipt for condoms. The report states Johnson began screaming at Lozada, saying, "I don't give a ****! I don't give an **** about my career."

Broward County Officer Christopher Epps wrote in his arrest report that the fight reached a point where Lozada had to "flee to a neighbor's house to get away from Johnson."

Sources told TMZ Evelyn was admitted to the ER at local hospital Saturday night for injuries stemming from the incident. She was released early Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins announced Sunday on their website they have terminated the six-time Pro Bowl receiver's contract.
