Titans LB Bud Dupree charged with misdemeanor assault following incident at Walgreens

Tennessee Titans linebacker Bud Dupree has been hit with a misdemeanor assault charge after an alleged altercation with an employee at a Walgreens in Nashville.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the incident took place at approximately 8 p.m. CT Sunday night after a verbal altercation between a 20-year-old male employee and a group of individuals who entered the store.

"The subjects then reentered the store with Dupree, who allegedly grabbed the employee and his phone and then was involved with a physical altercation with the employee before leaving," an ESPN report read. "MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron told The Tennessean that the employee allegedly was using his phone to film during the incident. The male employee was treated after suffering a cut on his forehead and a female employee was treated after suffering a cut on her hand, Aaron told the newspaper."

Police said that Dupree and his attorney met detectives Tuesday morning, and he is scheduled to report for booking in three weeks. The Titans said in a statement that they "are aware of the situation and are gathering additional information."

The 28-year-old Dupree spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with Tennessee in March. He's recorded 14 tackles and 3.0 sacks in 10 games this season.
