Bills Rookie LB Tyrel Dodson Arrested at Nightclub and Accused of Domestic Violence
By Karl Rasmussen
Buffalo Bills undrafted rookie Tyrel Dodson was escorted from a nightclub in Scottsdale, Ariz. Sunday and was later arrested. Dodson's girlfriend told police officers that the linebacker had been violent during an altercation between the pair hours prior to his arrest, reports TMZ.
Dodson, however, has reportedly denied these allegations and even accused his girlfriend of attacking him. He reportedly had a red mark on his face, which he showed to police, insisting that his girlfriend had struck him.
The alleged incident stemmed from a fight caused by Dodson reportedly vomiting on his girlfriend's carpet after a night out drinking. The woman claims that he grabbed her "forcefully" and shoved her "against the wall."
Dodson reportedly was slapped in the face by his girlfriend before slapping her back. The female also claims that Dodson stole as much as $8,000-$15,000 from a safe, as well as the keys to her car and $500 in cash from her purse.
The former Texas A&M standout was arrested at Mint Nightclub later that evening, as police reportedly felt they had probable cause to book him.
A spokesperson for the Bills told TMZ that the team is aware of the incident and gather information, but would not reveal anything further.
