Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant is calling out police in Southlake, Texas, after a confrontation with two drivers ended with him being handcuffed at gunpoint and issued an assault citation. According to Bryant, the incident began Sunday after two drivers allegedly cut him off in traffic. Bryant said he confronted the men in a restaurant parking lot because he wanted them to drive more safely, but the situation quickly escalated into an argument. Bryant claims one of the men threatened to shoot him, although he acknowledged that the man never pulled out a fi***rm. Instead, Bryant said the man pulled out his cellphone to record the confrontation, and Bryant admitted knocking the phone out of his hand. Police were called to the scene after reports of a fight involving a possible weapon. Officers arrived with their fi***rms drawn, ordered the men to the ground and temporarily detained them. Police later confirmed that no fi***rms were recovered. Bryant was issued a citation for assault by contact, a Class C misdemeanor, but was not arrested. He now claims the investigation was one-sided, alleging that officers focused on the other man’s cellphone recording without adequately investigating what led to the confrontation. Bryant also said his two daughters witnessed the incident after arriving with his girlfriend, making the experience especially upsetting. He is demanding a more thorough investigation and wants officers to review any available surveillance footage that could help establish what happened before the confrontation. Bryant is scheduled to appear in Southlake Municipal Court by November 20. The former NFL wide receiver says he wants everyone involved to be treated fairly and is questioning why he was the only person cited
