PHOENIX -- Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper has been indicted in Arizona on charges of sexual assault and administering dangerous drugs, authorities said Wednesday, marking the latest development in investigations in five states involving the Super Bowl champion. A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Sharper in sexual assaults allegedly committed on Nov. 21 in Tempe. The four-page indictment dated Tuesday accuses the 38-year-old Sharper of two counts of sexual assault and three counts of administering dangerous drugs. Sharper knowingly administered the sedative zolpidem to three different victims and then had "sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact" with two of them without their consent, the document states. Sharper is currently in custody in Los Angeles, where he has pleaded not guilty to seven rape and drug counts in connection with two alleged attacks in Hollywood. He had been freed on $1 million bail before turning himself in when an arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans. In Arizona, police reports released earlier say two women in their early 20s had claimed Sharper drugged and sexually assaulted them at a Tempe apartment after a group including Sharper went drinking at bars in nearby Scottsdale. One of the women told police she hadnt had any alcohol that night until Sharper insisted she drink a shot. Another young woman said she had been drugged then went to bed, locked her door and wasnt attacked. The next day, one of the women confronted Sharper, who denied wrongdoing, according to the reports. The reports said Sharper was in Arizona to visit a woman who lived at the apartment. The two had met about a year earlier in Las Vegas. Skip Donau, a Tucson attorney who represents Sharper in the Arizona case, declined to discuss specifics. "We know that Darren will vigorously deny the allegations," Donau said. "We are hopeful of vindication." In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Renee Korn said last week that it was unfair to hold Sharper in jail there "into perpetuity" and gave prosecutors in Louisiana until Thursday to charge him or otherwise seek his return. Prosecutors in New Orleans said Wednesday that Sharper would not be indicted by that deadline and the investigation remained open. It could not be immediately determined if Arizona authorities would ask that Sharper be held longer in Los Angeles or would seek his extradition. Jerry Cobb, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorneys Office, declined to comment. Sharper is also under investigation in Florida and Nevada. In a bail motion filed last month, Los Angeles County Investigator John Maccharella described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped. The New Orleans warrant says police learned from witnesses that Sharper and an associate had acknowledged having nonconsensual sex with two women. Sharpers attorneys say he never made such statements. The warrant does not elaborate on how the information was obtained or disclose the names of the witnesses. Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and was part of a successful championship run while with the New Orleans Saints. He retired after the 2010 season and was working as an analyst for the NFL Network before being fired recently.

Tseng, the 24-year-old Taiwanese star who has 15 LPGA Tour titles and had a 109-week run at No. 1 in the world ranking, is winless in 36 events since the Kia Classic in March 2012. She has tumbled to No. 15 in the world and missed cuts in the four of her last five tournaments. After opening with rounds of 67 and 68, Tseng had 11 birdies and two bogeys Saturday in warm, dry and calm conditions to reach 18 under at Columbia Edgewater. "Its been a long time. Its great to be back in this position again," Tseng said. "I was really happy out there. ... I just love every part of golf out there and really enjoyed every shot." Tseng birdied six of the first eight holes and dropped a stroke on the par-4 ninth to make the turn in 5-under 31. She birdied No. 10, then hooked her second shot up against a restroom en route to a bogey on the par-5 12th. Tseng rebounded with a birdie at 13, and added birdies at 15, 16 and 17 -- all with putts of less than 10 feet. She squandered a chance for another birdie when she missed a 5-foot putt on the par-4 18th. Tseng said the key to her round was making a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-3 13th after faltering at 12. "Thats an important putt for me, and I think kind of a little turning point on the back nine," Tseng said. Tseng recently spent two weeks in Taiwan working on her game, and Tony Kao, her coach since age 6, is with her in Portland. "Ive been working really hard," Tseng said. "I want to get back in this position, so I dont feel any surprise because this is what Im working hard for." Norways Suzann Pettersen, the 2011 tournament winner at Pumpkin Ridge, was tied for second with Thailands Pornanong Phatlum. Pettersen had a 70, and Phatlum, the leader after each of the first two rounds, shot 71. Swedens Anna Nordqvist also had a 63 to join U.S. Solheim Cup opponents Stacy Lewis,, Morgan Pressel and Lizette Salas at 14 under.ddddddddddddLewis and Pressel shot 65, and Salas had a 68. Pettersen has come from behind to win the Safeway Classic before, rallying from a nine-stroke deficit to win in 2011. Pettersen and Tseng are close friends, and will play together in the final group. "Theres no one that Id rather see playing better and playing well than Yani," Pettersen said. "I know shes been through a rough patch. Shes too good not to hang tough and be in the game." Phatlum, the second-round leader for the first time during her five-year LPGA career, said her hot putter of the first two days deserted her. "Maybe the pressure. Today is like slow, and I feel like not comfortable," Phatlum said. "Im just OK with my score today, and putting not really good. Just try my best tomorrow." Austin Ernst shot a 62 to tie the tournament record set by Annika Sorenstam in 2002. Ernst set the stage as the first player on the course. Playing by herself, the tour rookie birdied eight of her first 10 holes to flirt with a 59, then bogeyed the par-4 11th. She was 12 under overall. Ernst, who played her round in 2 hours, 45 minutes, said she went about low as she could go. "I hit it really well, but I made a ton of putts. It was pretty easy on myself. Green were fresh," Ernst said. "I maybe had two putts on the back nine that I could have made that were 15 feet that I just rolled over the edge. Other than that, I made pretty much got everything I could out of the round." Lewis said because of Ernsts early finish, most players were aware of her record-tying score. "I was warming up on the putting green, and I think everybody on the putting green kind of stopped and watched her hit her birdie putt there on 18," Lewis said. "Sixty-two is a pretty good score around this course." A 72-hole event for the time, the tournament is back at Columbia Edgewater after four years at Pumpkin Ridge. Columbia Edgewater also was the tournament site from 1990-2008. ' ' '
