MIAMI -- Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Stockar McDougle was charged with pushing the owner of a landscaping company and a female clerk because of a dispute about a bill.

The store owner said he later struck McDougle's car with a shovel because he thought the 348-pound lineman was trying to run him over, police said.

Detectives did not find visible injuries on the owner or employee, a police report said. McDougle was released from jail on bail Friday night.

McDougle was arrested Friday and charged with battery on a person 65 and older, a felony, and touch-strike battery, a misdemeanor, after he went to pay a debt, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office report. He became angry when owner Quilone Mitchell said he owed $2,229.48 and not $1,200 because of interest, the report said.

As McDougle was leaving the store, he took the original receipt off a clerk's desk. When she reached for it, McDougle pushed her, causing her to fall against the wall, authorities said. Mitchell tried to grab the receipt, but McDougle pushed him against the counter.

It was not known if McDougle had a lawyer. A telephone listing for him could not be found.

The Jaguars declined to comment on the arrest, the latest legal problem for the team. Eight other Jaguar players were arrested since January 2006. Four of the arrests involved alcohol, two for drug possession and two for gun charges.

Last month, coach Jack Del Rio promised stiffer punishments, including fines and suspensions, for any other Jaguars in trouble.

McDougle, a first-round draft pick by Detroit in 2000, was out for the season with an Achilles' tendon injury. He played 11 games for the Jaguars last season, primarily on special teams. He spent his first five seasons with the Lions, then 2005 with Miami.
