Ex-Cowboy Dez Bryant says officer pointed gun at him in front of daughters
Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant says police pointed a gun at him in front of his daughters during a Southlake confrontation that ended with an assault citation.
Dez Bryant, a former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, claims a police officer pointed a gun at him in front of his two daughters during a recent incident. The altercation began as a traffic dispute near Kimball Avenue, with Bryant alleging another driver cut him off. The dispute escalated into an alleged assault in a parking lot, leading to his citation for assault by contact, a minor offense.
Southlake police responded to reports of a fight, arriving with their firearms drawn as a precaution due to multiple callers reporting a possible weapon. No firearms were recovered at the scene, and several individuals were temporarily detained. Bryant's girlfriend, accompanied by his daughters, recorded a video of the incident, which was shared with the media.
Prior to this, Bryant had been a standout player for the Cowboys from 2010 to 2017, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and an All-Pro honor in 2014.
