Cowboys WR Ventell Bryant arrested on DUI charge in Florida

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ventell Bryant arrested for driving under the influence in Tampa on Wednesday.

There’s a Dallas Cowboys wide receiver making headlines, but unfortunately it’s for the wrong reasons. 23-year-old Ventell Bryant was charged with driving under the influence on Wednesday morning. The incident took place in his hometown of Tampa, Florida when he was pulled over for driving without his headlights.

With a new coaching staff in town, any lapse in judgment is the kind of thing that a player on the roster bubble simply can’t afford to make.

From The Athletic’s Greg Auman:

The arresting officer noted that Bryant was slow to stop, and after being stopped, “exhibited several clues of impairment, to include bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech, an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath.” The arrest report says he “admitted to consuming several margaritas” before submitting to a breath test, which eventually showed a blood-alcohol level of .102 and .099…

Bryant played in 12 games for the Cowboys in 2019, and was primarily used on special teams, appearing in 45% of those snaps. He did catch one pass for a touchdown in the Thanksgiving day loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Bryant is under contract for the 2020 season, but does not have any guaranteed money in his deal, meaning a release would result in no dead money on the Dallas cap.

Man arrested for shooting at two duck hunters

A Georgia man faces charges after allegedly shooting at two duck hunters as they were preparing to hunt just before dawn Saturday.

A Georgia man faces charges after allegedly shooting at two duck hunters as they were preparing to hunt just before dawn Saturday.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said in a news release that a K9 officer named Rio helped uncover a rifle and other evidence leading to the suspect’s arrest.

The hunters called authorities after seeing muzzle flashes across the swamp in Bleckley County, and bullets striking the water in front of them.

Warden Jason Bennett searched the area and encountered an unarmed man emerging from the woods.

The man denied involvement but was detained while Bennett requested assistance. DNR Corporal Keith Page arrived with a K9 officer named Rio, who located a 30-30 caliber rifle in the bushes at a nearby pond.

Rio was then led on a track from the pond to the swamp and uncovered three spent shell casings from a 30-30 rifle.

The DNR did not identify the suspect or offer further details, citing an ongoing investigation, but said the suspect “will face a multitude of charges.”

Body-cam footage released of Cowboys Antwaun Woods’ marijuana arrest

The defensive tackle was pulled over for speeding when officers found ‘too much marijuana,’ according to officers heard in the video.

News that defensive tackle Antwaun Woods was arrested in Frisco while the team prepped to play the Bears was a disappointment to Cowboys fans. Now, police body camera footage has been released showing Woods’s arrest.

The 26-year-old was stopped December 3 after being clocked doing 77 mph in a 60-mph zone. Woods was charged with possession of between two and four ounces of marijuana as well as tampering with evidence after he had apparently attempted to dispose of some of the weed by stuffing it into an open water bottle during the traffic stop.

On Tuesday morning, TMZ shared video of the arrest taken via an officer’s body camera.

In the two-minute clip, the officer can be heard explaining to Woods, “All right, so listen. You’ve got too much marijuana, okay? So just place your hands behind your back; you’ll be placed under arrest.”

Woods asks to make a phone call and is informed that he’ll have to wait until he is brought to jail. Later in the video, the lineman in his second year with Dallas appears to plead his case with the arresting officer as he is led to the back seat of a police cruiser.

“C’mon, bro. Are you serious?” Woods asks.

“I have no choice,” the officer responds. “I have no option. You’ve got a lot of marijuana. I can’t do anything about that.”

According to TMZ, police found “two glass Mason jars and a small gold cylinder full of weed in his 2016 Cadillac Escalade,” plus other pieces of drug paraphernalia.

Woods had been battling a knee injury and had already been ruled out of the team’s Week 14 away game. He had been scheduled to travel to Chicago the next day with his teammates until news of the arrest broke. Coach Jason Garrett informed Woods that he would remain behind.

Before being placed in the police vehicle, Woods again requests to “please make one call.”

Again, he is denied. “We can’t, until we get to jail. It’s policy.”

“I know somebody that…” Woods starts to say before trailing off. The 6-foot-1, 310-pounder has a hard time squeezing into the backseat just before the video of the incident ends.

“I just left my wife and kids at the house, bro,” Woods says finally, asking the officer to call them.

Woods’s possession charge is considered a misdemeanor, per TMZ. The tampering charge, however, is a third-degree felony.
