Former NFL lineman Luis Sharpe, sought under an arrest warrant after vanishing between drug treatment programs, was found shot in the neck on the street, police said.

Sharpe, 36, fought with paramedics attempting to treat him, and police said the former Cardinals player kicked and spat at officers. Police officers used pepper spray to subdue Sharpe and took him to Maricopa County Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
