Davone Bess, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2013, is once again facing
legal issues. This time, his troubles stem from a "standoff" with police and a
SWAT team, reports indicated Tuesday.
Bess was charged with one felony count each for endangerment, unlawful
flight, and failure to stop for a police officer. He was released on $2,500 bond
on Monday night.
On Sunday night, Bess was stopped in Gilbert, Arizona for failing to drive
with his headlights on, per the documents of his charges. And that's when the
situation escalated.
According to the report, Bess fled home, where he refused police commands
and entered his home. Police then obtained a search warrant, and the SWAT
team eventually entered his house and arrested him.
Bess entered the league in 2008 and spent the first five years of his career
with the Dolphins. He later joined the Browns, but his time there came to an
end after only one season. In his career, he caught 363 passes for 3,809
yards and 14 touchdowns.
