The former Dallas Cowboys star tweeted the incident: “Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She’s going to jail n I’m pressing charges!”

Pilar Sanders, the estranged wife and mother, was booked in Collin County, Texas, Monday night for misdemeanor family violence, police said. Pilar was fined $264 for the incident.

While it is not clear what exactly happened on Monday night, Deion insists via Twitter that he did not fight back:  “Strength is not only based on what u can lift,push,pull,press,carry,hold or squat. Its also measured by WHAT U CAN WALK AWAY FROM! Truth.”

New York Daily news has posted pictures that Deion tweeted, which shows the Sanders boys signing papers in a group. The newspaper said Sanders tweeted the photos with the caption: “filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth.”  The photos and accompanied tweets have now disappeared from Deion’s twitter timeline.

The couple wed in 1999 and Deion filed for divorce last year.

Last month, Pilar filed a $200 million defamation lawsuit against her husband for calling her a “gold diggin’ h*e” on Twitter.  Deion defends himself against those allegations by insisting that he wasn’t lying and that his statement shouldn’t be considered libel if there was truth to his words.

Pilar has accused Deion of cheating on her with entertainment producer Tracey Edmonds.
