NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Bud Dupree turned himself in at the Davidson County courthouse on Friday, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
Dupree was booked shortly after 9 a.m. before being released, according to an MNPD spokesperson.
Dupree was issued a citation in January charging him with misdemeanor assault after an altercation with an employee at a Walgreens in Nashville.
According to the MNPD, the incident took place after a verbal altercation between the 20-year-old male employee and some individuals who had entered the store.
The subjects then re-entered the store with Dupree, who allegedly grabbed the employee and his phone and then was involved in a physical altercation with the employee before leaving. The employee was treated after suffering a cut on his forehead and a female employee was treated after suffering a cut on one of her hands.
Dupree is scheduled to return to Davidson County Courthouse for a settlement hearing on April 22. Dupree recently concluded his first season with the Titans after signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract as a free agent in March.
