A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Johnson would meet with league officials in New York on Tuesday. The person requested anonymity because the league has not announced the meeting.

Johnson also faces a Dec. 4 court date for another incident that occurred last February when he allegedly pushed a woman's face in another Kansas City nightspot.

This most recent alleged incident at a Kansas City nightspot on Oct. 10, marks the fourth time in five years Johnson has been accused of assaulting a woman.

He was deactivated for the past two games for breaking team rules. But in a written statement Monday, Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson left little doubt the team's highest-paid player would be absent again this week regardless of what action the league might take.

"The case with Larry Johnson has been and continues to be in the hands of the NFL office in New York," Peterson said in an e-mail to The Kansas City Star and The Associated Press. "We will defer further comment on the matter until that process has run its due course and the league has concluded its own independent investigation.

"As we have previously indicated, it is in the best interest of both Larry and the Chiefs that Larry focuses his attention on addressing his personal issues. At present, we do not believe Larry can contribute to our team on the field until those issues are resolved."

Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said Johnson turned himself in and was released after posting a $500 bond.
