Former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona on Monday for disorderly conduct and for making threats at workers at a funeral home.

Ex-NFL OL Richie Incognito Charged With Making Threats

Incognito announced in a tweet on Sunday that his father died Saturday, and his body was reportedly being held at the funeral home.

A police report issued Tuesday said 35-year-old Incognito walked into Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary and started creating a “disturbance” by “acting erratically.” The free agent offensive lineman also allegedly “made a gun gesture toward one of the employees” and warned one of the workers that he had a “truck full of guns” sitting in the funeral home’s parking lot. ESPN also quoted employees as saying he “walked around the funeral home, punching caskets and throwing things.”

According to several reports, local authorities ultimately found five weapons in Incognito’s vehicle, all of which were legally owned. ESPN reported that he is set to appear in court in Scottsdale on Aug. 27 for a “pretrial conference.”

This is the second time this year that Incognito has run into trouble with the law. In May, he was detained by police in South Florida after he got into an altercation with a man at a gym.

A four-time Pro Bowler, Incognito originally claimed he would retire following the 2017 season but ultimately requested to be released in order to enter free agency. The offensive guard was also at the center of a locker room bullying and harassment investigation in 2013 that ultimately led the Miami Dolphins — for whom he played at the time — to suspend him three months. Incognito had allegedly threatened then-teammate Jonathan Martin.  

Incognito also played with the then-St. Louis Rams from 2005 to 2009. Earlier this year, a Jacksonville Jaguars player accused Incognito of using racial slurs during a playoff game.

Richie Incognito racial slurs news

Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue jumped on Twitter Sunday night to seemingly accuse Bills guard Richie Incognito of using racial slurs during Sunday’s Wild Card playoff game.

Ngakoue didn’t use Incognito’s name, but instead chose to use his number (64), and ended his tweet with the hashtag #Iaintjonathanmartin in reference to the bullying scandal involving former NFL offensive lineman Jonathan Martin that got Incognito suspended by the Miami Dolphins in 2013. The Jaguars star said he was “proud” of his African heritage, and that most of the other black players in the league are too.


Incognito, 34, spent a year away from the NFL after that bullying incident but has since enjoyed a successful career with the Bills.

The Jaguars defeated the Bills 10-3 Sunday to advance to the Divisional Playoff round, where they will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Jacksonville clinched the AFC South after finishing the season 11-6.

Incidents of racism in sports have been prevalent in recent months, although more have occurred in other leagues like MLB. Boston Red Sox fans last year laced racial epithets and threw objects at Baltimore’s Adam Jones during a game against the Orioles at Fenway Park, a move that prompted a swift response from the Red Sox and from Boston city officials.
