Tennessee Titans linebacker Bud Dupree has reportedly been cited after an alleged assault.

According to Emily Proud, Dupree has been issued a misdemeanor assault citation after allegedly getting into it with someone at a Walgreens this past Sunday. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Dupree is accused of grabbing the victim and his phone during the altercation. He faces a maximum of a $2,500 fine and just under 12 months in jail if convicted, according to Proud.

You can see a video of the alleged incident below.

As I always say, the Tennessee Titans linebacker has every right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That’s our system, and we should all be grateful for it.

Having said that, if Dupree is guilty of getting into an altercation at a Walgreens, then he needs to be making much smarter decisions.

When you’re playing in the NFL or making a bunch of money in general, why are you allegedly getting into petty arguments and grabbing someone’s phone?

It’s simply not worth it. Compare your paychecks before getting into an argument!
