Bess arrested

[Zombo]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested Friday morning for allegedly assaulting an officer at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport.

NFL Media obtained the Broward County Sheriff's Office police report of the matter, which indicatesthat Bess faces three charges in all, including disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer. Bess posted $100 bond and was released from jail later that morning.

A TSA officer wrote in the complaint affidavit that several passengers at the airport reported strange behavior from Bess. He was dancing and singing, with his pants repeatedly falling down. Bess was then approached by the officer, at which time Bess squeezed his cup of coffee in order to spill the liquid on the officer, according to the report. Bess proceeded to take a "fighting stance" toward the officer and take off his shirt. The officer said Bess appeared to be under the influence of an unknown narcotic.

A Browns spokesman told NFL Media that the team was "aware of the situation and currently working to gather more information."

It's the second time this week Bess has been in the news. The team already was looking into a photo posted by Bess on his Twitter account Thursday that appeared to contain marijuana. The tweet has since been removed from Bess' account. He posted a similar picture on his Instagram account in December, which got him some negative attention.

The Plain-Dealer reports that Bess has been dealing with serious family issues. Bess left the team with two games left in the regular season and was placed on the non-football/reserve list.

Purposely spilled coffee on a TSA officer while under the influence? Not quite punching a cop, which is what I first thought. Dude needs help though.

Definitely needs help, but he's out of the league anyway.

If he was as good as say, Brandon Marshall, then I'd let him have time to get help and get back. But he's no Brandon Marshall.

This team is a fucking joke.

I'm all about taking it to a higher level but I think my man Bess got a little carried away.

Legally it is not difference. First ,spilling coffee purposely is basically tantamout to a punch. In fact, if the coffee were very hot, very hot it could be considered a more aggravated offense because the coffee could be viewed as a weapon if it was really scalding.

I doubt that the coffee "spill"/throw would be charged at a higher degree...but I also don't think it would be charged at a lesser degree either.

And as far as Cop vs. TSA officer, that is no difference. In fact, the TSA officer, being a Federal Employee could result in Federal, not just state or local charges. (again, could be, not necessarily would be.

so.. he was lonely... big deal..

last I heard a lot of the guys browns didn't want because of "character issues" went incident free.

Bess gets high and Gordon gets high and you know who else gets high? The guy 20+ of us voted to be our first pick this year (myself included)... Watkins likes the weed and pills. That would be some Browns luck right there, 2 star receivers on the sideline suspended for dope and for being dopes. I love me some weed but if you give me a million dollar job, i would never touch it again... til i retired.

In other legal news, Kellen Winslow Jr. was allegedly jerking off in his car while high on synthetic weed. Got popped on the weed charge but avoided indecent exposure because he put his junk away before the cops came.

Phil Taylor and Greg Little had character issues right?

They both have stayed out of trouble mostly. Greg Little has speeding tickets and sucks, but nothing major.

Something that comes along with being a big shot college athlete at 18-22 sometimes.

There's always going to be guys who stop caring when they get their payday too.

Kellen Winslow stopped caring the moment he got drafted though. Maybe his dad spoiled him or something.

not arguing the fact that no one is perfect. Just that FO is hypocriteable. They don't draft Mathieu because of pot issues but turn around and draft a guy that sold pot while at practice in college. And it doesn't look good when the nice guys u bring in underperforme and get into some ridiculous trouble. Oh and u paid 11 million for one of them and Alot of it was guaranteed. Thank god that dumbass has some walking around Money.

League rules disallow the releasing of any player at this time. Its not that they don't want to, they are not permitted to.

They have way more to worry about than what players to cut. Watching these idiots multitask is like watching a ratard pat his head and rub his tummy

You know the old saying, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably IS"? We got Bess for practically nothing. We are Fans, but where were our "professional" FO people asking WHY he came at such a low price? Then they EXTENDED him! Kiss your bucks goodbye Jimmy! In Lombardi we trust, right?

Jimmy...It's time to continue the evaluation of your FO. Gonna fire them too, like Chud? Just wait 'til free agency time. That should be a hoot, albeit a very expensive one, IF anyone will take your money. We'll see.

Turns out Bessie had a bizarre run in with the law at his home ten months ago ... A month before we signed him ... And he was yelling "Hide the weed" and "Hide the guns".

Way to do you due diligence Banbardi.

Haslem should seriously fire these fucks today and start with a clean slate.

I couldnt agree more...could Rupert Murdoch buy out Haslam too?

This organization is run like a well oiled machine.Does anyone in this FO take real responsibility for the continued inability to sign or trade for players without a background check. The 3 Studges are just that.Maybe the next head coach is still in the looney bin.

[cuwoohio]

What was the deal about his answer when responding to a reporter who asked about the Instagram photos of pot? His answer , "Ask Brandon Weeden" Huh?
