Was Dez Bryant Arrested For Assaulting His Own Mother?

Yesterday we reported that Dez Bryant had been arrested on misdemeanor family violence charges. Details are slowly coming out and now we finally learn the identity of the victim, Dez's mother.

Dez turned himself in to police yesterday after police obtained a warrant on the family violence charge. The incident occurred Saturday night when Bryant got into an altercation with his half brother that resulted in him shoving his mother Angela. Police were called to the home but no arrests were made. Angela nor Dez's half brother needed to be taken to the hospital for injuries. Law enforcement further reviewed the case however, and issued a warrant for Dez's arrest, leading him to turn himself in to DeSoto Police. Bryant was charged with a Class A misdemeanor for assaulting a female family member punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 and up to a year in jail and possibly a breach of the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Calling the police is LAME as hell, AND it will destroy even a regular person's record in worse ways that taking an ass whoopin. Beat my ass....do not call the police. That's the dumb ish.

Comment by livelife25 on July 17, 2012 at 12:29pm: I'll wait to hear the story. Seeing as they mentioned he was scuffling with his half brother, it's very possible his mother tried jumping in between the two and got scuffed up in the process. I'm not saying it's okay, but I've seen it happen before.

Felonious assault is the one that results in blood shed. I'm a fighting, police caling muthaf**ka so dont assault me in any way, shape, or form....or yo azz will pay.

Comment by livelife25 on July 17, 2012 at 7:29pm: Came back to say: I have now heard the story. And wow....he gets no more defense from me.

Comment by Kynedy L on July 17, 2012 at 10:08pm: His mom was a crack dealer and last got arrested in 2009. No wonder this boy can't stay out of trouble. Sheesh! He needs anger management 2 years ago and an ego debooster!

Comment by tru2this on July 17, 2012 at 10:18pm: Dez isn't this kind of person, his family is very toxic to him and he doesn't deserve that one bit. All he does is try to help them and foot the bill for their lives.

Comment by Miss Double Kiss on July 17, 2012 at 10:44pm: first thing I thought when I heard this story is 1. SOMEBODY WANTED SOME $$ out of him and 2. He was pushed over the edge.

I don't know his deal, but I got a problem with his momma still living in Desoto FREAKING Texas...as soon as I heard that I figured she must've hit him up for some cash. Some family of these players are just wrong. Yeah that's his momma. S*** happens. But she is/was a crackhead and I went with my gut. I WISH MOST OF THESE PLAYERS WOULD DROP their families like a bad habit the moment they get a contract. These mooching SOB's get on my nerves and when they don't get their way they go crazy. He probably told his moms HELL NO to giving her more $ and her crazy ass went off. Now he got hit with these charges because his cracky relatives charged at him...smh. Damn. He need to leave all of his family chilling in rotten ass Desoto and never look back. Keep driving down the Highway to Arlington and stay focused on the upcoming season. Don't answer their calls and definitely cut that b**** off!
