Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is accusing the police of pulling a gun on him in front of his daughters following a traffic dispute in Southlake, Texas.
Bryant, speaking exclusively with Outkick’s Jackson Thompson, described the events leading up to the gun being drawn — an incident that also led Bryant to receive a citation for simple assault for allegedly knocking a cell phone out of another driver’s hands.
“Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant says a police officer aimed a gun at him in front of his daughters Sunday after a confrontation with a man he alleges threatened to shoot him following an encounter with two men who he accused or reckless driving,” Thompson wrote on Monday. “The incident resulted in Bryant receiving an assault citation, but began when the two men cut him off in traffic and put him in a dangerous situation, and he just tried to tell them to drive safer, he said. Footage Bryant provided to OutKick showed an officer aiming a gun at Bryant. Bryant is also seen lying on the ground in handcuffs alongside the two other men in Southlake, Texas.”
