As a matter of fact, they can. Most authorities usually allow the judiciary board to deal with the incident (being banned for a month, a year or the rest of your life is a far worse punishment to a major sports player than simple fines or service).

Only if you stop it by joining in on the fight. Or if the police thought you were fighting, but once they figured out that you weren't part of it, they'd let you go.Yes you can be arrested and charged with assault and resisting arrest. I was stopping a fight/beat down on one individual (3 on 1) and the cops arrested me, locked me down overnight and sent me to county jail no questions asked. I didn't find out what my charges were until I was in county jail. This happened with the El Paso Police Department in Texas.
