UPDATE: London Fletcher was just on the NFL Network and confirmed that his relatives were involved in a physical altercation at the game yesterday. He said his relatives were harassed by Browns fans all day, but he blamed stadium security for the arrests. Fletcher said security was belligerent with his family and that led to the arrests. 

Fletcher said his aunt was hospitalized for "neck injuries" and said she "did not suffer a heart attack." He confirmed she has been released from the hospital. 

Fletcher hinted he and his family may pursue legal remedies against stadium security and said his family members that were arrested are still in custody and have not yet been formally charged. 

Redskins ILB London Fletcher is from the Cleveland area and he had plenty of family and friends in the stands yesterday to cheer him on. Unfortunately, people in the stands lost their temper, forgot that this was just a football game and some very bad things happened

The veteran linebacker's family was involved in an altercation with Browns fans after the game and his aunt suffered a heart attack, NewsChannel5 in Cleveland reports.

Police used Tasers in the incident and three of Fletcher's family members were arrested.

Fletcher's aunt, 57-year-old Evette Robinson, was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center, Nita Ashford, a Cleveland school teacher and relative of Fletcher, told NewsChannel5.

Robinson's condition is unknown at this time.

All of us at DC Pro Sports Report hope Ms Robinson makes a complete recovery.
