According to NBC, the police came to the house where the 21-year-old Mr. Ware was staying and heard "loud banging" from inside. They looked through the window and noticed broken glass and clothes scattered across the floor.
According to the Salisbury Post, the homeowners - Ware was lodging in their house - report that Ware had gone out drinking all day. When he came home thoroughly intoxicated, the homeowners hid in their bedroom while he just trashed the place: the officers found broken wall art and paintings, a shattered bedroom door after he tried to break in, a destroyed doorframe and two destroyed flat-screen TVs.
He was charged with three misdemeanors: assault on a woman, simple assault and property damage.
NASCAR issued an indefinite suspension, which means he won't race in NASCAR at any level - there are quite a few - until he gets his act together. Since no sponsor wants to be associated with a driver like that, his racing days are almost assuredly over.
In happier NASCAR news, Xfinity Series (what used to be called Busch Series - it's one step down from the top Cup series) driver Daniel Hemric proves consistency is more important than checkered flags by winning the championship and his very first race at the same time.

Rick Ware has to be ultra-embarrassed by his son and team getting this kind of publicity, so if he tries anything stupid like claiming victimhood his daddy will probably cart him twenty miles out of town, throw him out of the car and tell him not to come back.
