You In Trouble Now, Justin


Yesterday when NY Jet Justin Miller was accused of socking a girl in the face, we didn't know who the girl was. Well we do now. Her name is Kirstin Jarvis and she's an assistant to Barack Obama's chief of staff. This is what Kirstin's friend Lauren Turner told the NY Daily News:
Jarvis, Turner and some other friends had just left Aer Lounge on W. 13th St. about 4:30 a.m. Sunday when they ran into Miller and two of his buddies on W. 16th St., just outside the Maritime Hotel. Miller, 23, immediately started hitting on one of Jarvis' married friends.
"He was drunk. His friends were trying to make him stop talking. ... He started to make rude comments to everybody," Turner said. "We didn't even know who he was."
When Jarvis' friends tried to deflect Miller, the Pro Bowl kick returner insulted one of her male friends and then took a swing, missing him, according to Turner.
"He stopped and then looked at Kristen. Everybody was just going off at the mouth. They were saying, 'You won't hit us! ... Why are you trying to start something?'" Turner recalled. "Then he hit Kristen in the face."
Jarvis crumpled to the ground.
"She's a tall girl, but he was bigger and he's a man. He has a lot more strength," she said.
Miller - named the league's fastest man at the Pro Bowl in February - took off around the corner, cops said.
Several of Jarvis' friends chased after him and flagged down a cop, who caught Miller hiding in a nearby parking garage, Turner said.
Miller was arraigned the same day on a third-degree assault charge. He later issued an apology for the incident.
"He apologized to the NFL and his fans, but he did not apologize to Kristen," Turner said. "He was mad ... because he couldn't get somebody's number that night and it's a shame that that had to happen."
They say Kirstin has a dent in her chin and has trouble walking.
