(CNN) - Former NFL player, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is pleading not guilty to domestic battery charges.

Johnson faces up to a year behind bars for allegedly head butting his wife last month in Florida.

According to the arrest report, the incident happened after Johnson's wife confronted him about a receipt showing a charge for condoms.

Johnson says his wife head-butted him.

The Miami Dolphins released Johnson the day after the incident, but didn't give a reason.
