( CNN ) -- Former football star Deion Sanders and a third person also were cited for misdemeanor assault in an incident this week that resulted in Sanders ' estranged wife being arrested and taken into custody , according to a statement Wednesday by the Prosper , Texas , police department . The statement said police responded to a domestic disturbance call Monday afternoon at a residence in the Dallas suburb where Sanders , 44 , complained he was assaulted by Pilar Sanders , 38 , and another woman identified as Dianna Boswell , also 38 . Pilar Sanders was detained and taken into custody on a charge of simple assault , a misdemeanor , the statement said . `` Further investigation of the circumstances prompted the responding officers to cite Mr. Deion Sanders and Ms. Dianna Boswell with Class C Simple Assault , '' it continued . Only Pilar Sanders was taken into custody . She was released Tuesday and said she has n't been given a `` fair shake '' over allegations that she attacked Sanders in an incident he made public in a series of bizarre Twitter postings . `` I understand that I have very little chance at beating a Hall of Fame , two-sport man that everyone seems to love and adore , '' Pilar Sanders said , proclaiming her innocence . The Collin County Sheriff 's Office said Pilar Sanders , under an emergency protective order , is forbidden from returning to the couple 's home for 61 days and can not threaten or harass any member of the family . In one of the messages posted Monday on his verified Twitter account , Deion Sanders included a photo of what he said were his children filling out complaints to give to police in Texas . `` Pray for me and my kids now ! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room , '' said the first tweet , posted at 6:15 p.m. `` She 's going to jail n I 'm pressing charges ! '' Two minutes later , Sanders tweeted again . `` I 'm sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys . This is on my mama ! '' it said . Shortly after that , Sanders tweeted a picture that showed him and his two boys , 10 and 12 , filling out paperwork . `` Filling out police reports now ! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth , '' the caption read . Pilar Sanders was booked into jail Monday night on suspicion of assault family violence , according to booking records at the Collin County Jail . Bail was set at $ 264 . `` I can tell you that there are two sides to every story , and the truth will come out in court , '' Larry Friedman , an attorney for Pilar Sanders , said Tuesday . Deion Sanders played for several NFL teams , including the San Francisco 49ers , the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons . He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and works as an analyst for the NFL Network . During much of his NFL career , he also was an outfielder with four Major League Baseball teams and played in a World Series with the Atlanta Braves . The NFL Network and Sanders ' business manager , Constance Schwartz , declined to comment about the incident . But a clearly emotional Sanders spoke to Dallas television station KXAS on Monday night and appealed for help . `` My kids , they are scared for their life , '' he told the station . `` They just saw two women jump their dad in his own house , in his room , in my room . It 's sad . `` I got locks on my doors right now , '' he added . `` Is somebody going to have to die ? Is it going to be me before the court does something and get this woman out of my house ? It 's absurd . '' The Sanderses have three children together . Deion Sanders has two other children from an earlier relationship . The couple married in 1999 and starred in a reality show , `` Deion & Pilar : Prime Time Love , '' that aired on the Oxygen network . The marriage soured , however , and the two are in a bitter divorce . In February , Pilar Sanders filed a suit against her husband and his aunt , Laura Jones . She said the aunt attacked her in their 10-bedroom , 29,000-square-foot home in Prosper while Deion Sanders watched . At the time , the athlete tweeted that his wife was the aggressor and the aunt was in the home merely to fix his phone . Pilar Sanders also filed a separate suit against her husband and his daughter , Deiondra , after she called her stepmother a `` gold-digging ( expletive ) '' and `` the number one gold digger of the year '' in Twitter posts . In the second suit , Pilar Sanders demanded $ 200 million in damages for libelous and slanderous comments . She claims that her husband `` endorsed Deiondra 's false statements '' and himself tweeted he was `` tired of all ( Pilar 's ) lies and foolishness . ''
Sanders , his estranged wife and a third person all were cited in the Monday case . Only Pilar Sanders was detained by Monday . Pilar Sanders was released from custody Tuesday . The Sanderses are in the middle of a bitter divorce case .
