Fisher in wait-and-see mode on Dunbar arrest

Nearly a year ago at this time, Rams coach Jeff Fisher called Jo-Lonn Dunbar "selfish" when the veteran outside linebacker was suspended four games for violating NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
But Fisher is withholding judgment so far on Dunbar's latest off-field issue, an arrest early Sunday morning for his role in fight outside a Miami Beach night club. Dunbar was arrested for disorderly conduct in a fracas that included NBA player Donte Greene and Greene's brother Dmetrique.
"We are gathering facts as we always do," Fisher said. "I have spoken to Jo-Lonn. It appears that it was not what it was presented to be. At this point, I'm hoping that the investigation, the legal system, will prove that it was more of a self-defense issue than it was something where he was the aggressor."
Donte Greene was charged with battery, and had to be subdued with a taser gun by Miami Beach police when he allegedly struck Dunbar from behind in the head and neck area. Dunbar is expected to be on the field today when the Rams open training camp later this afternoon.
