12:21 PM PT -- The NFL Network has removed Sapp's bio from the official "On-Air Talent" section of the website.
No word if Sapp has been fired from the Network yet ... but as one source puts it, "It's not looking good."
12:06 PM PT -- A rep for the hotel where Warren was arrested tells TMZ Sports, "we were contacted by the Phoenix Police Dept. today in a matter involving a guest.""We are cooperating with police as they look into the situation since it is an active investigation. We have no further comment."
Warren Sapp was arrested in Phoenix this morning for soliciting a prostitute around 7AM ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Sapp was also arrested for assault. We're told Sapp was taken into custody at a hotel in Downtown Phoenix.
The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" alum was booked just a few minutes ago.
Sapp was in Phoenix covering the Super Bowl for the NFL Network.
It's not Warren's first arrest -- he was busted in 2010 for domestic battery, but those charges were eventually dropped. He was also arrested for an alleged domestic battery in Miami in 2014.
As we previously reported, officials made it clear before the Super Bowl they would be cracking down on prostitution.

12:55 PM PT -- New details in the Warren Sapp arrest ...
Cops say two women told police they were at the hotel "as escorts" and went to Sapp's room, where an argument broke out over money.
The women claim the argument turned physical and spilled out into the hallway.
Cops say the women had injuries consistent with a struggle.
Officials say when cops questioned Sapp,"he was questioned and admitted involvement in the act of prostitution, but denied assaulting the females."
Both women involved in the incident received citations from police -- one for prostitution, the other for a violation of the City’s escort permit requirements. Both women were released.
He wanted a discount double check.
I have no problem with the hookers, tbh, but assault? Come on man!
Sapp is bankrupt ( intellectually, morally and financially)
no wonder he didn't want to pay
@richarddeitsch: Via @sinow: Warren Sapp’s contract has been terminated and he no longer works for NFL Network.
YES!!!! First, Rodger's MVP, Seahawks blowing the Super Bowl, now this! What a great football weekend! As long as the women are not seriously hurt...
thanks Jenn

Katie Perry hurt me.
packerboi,
U know it!
Or is he just shaking his head, muttering "what a dumarse" with a little snickering.
Collateral damage.... Kidding!
Sapp should know better. In the game of football you should never score unless you can handle the consequences. Everyone knows that ..........
Hey Sapp, there's always ESPN! You fking idiot!
Warrens pretty good with money so he should be fine for a few days.
I guess this means there won't be a Team Sapp in the pro-bowl any time soon.
Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Maybe he'll ask the hooker girl to marry him.
He should be back by the end of the year just like Ray Rice.
"he will be living under a bridge within a year"
I wonder if Clifton will visit Sapp under the bridge. Just to say there are no hard feelings.
Chad's too hip for that low-brow stuff

At least then she won't have to testify against him.
Is he a Morman.....he needs to marry both. He should be relocating to St George soon.
