Tennessee Titans linebacker Bud Dupree was cited for a misdemeanor assault charge following an altercation with an employee at a Walgreens in Nashville.
Nashville Police say the incident took place Sunday at approximately 8 p.m. local time after a verbal altercation between a 20-year-old male employee and some customers. The customers left and returned with Dupree, who grabbed the employee and his phone before a physical altercation took place.
“Due to the victim being assaulted, the defendant is being charged with assault-fear of bodily injury,” the MNPD said in a statement Tuesday.
Dupree, 28, must report for booking on the citation in three weeks.
