Former Bachelor winner arrested

A former cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who was proposed to on the reality show The Bachelor was accused of punching Byron Velvick, according to authorities. Mary Delgado was taken into custody just after midnight on Wednesday on a battery charge and was under the influence of alcohol when she was arrested. Delgado received a proposal on the show in 2004 from professional fisherman Velvick, and the two appeared together last Tuesday on a special episode of the current season of The Bachelor. The police affidavit does not name Delgado's fiance, but says the pair have lived together 'as a family' for the last three years. According to sheriff officials, Delgado was released Wednesday afternoon.
