What has happened to Dez Bryant? Ex-Dallas Cowboys star claims police official pointed gun at him in front of his daughter. Watch viral video here

Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant says a police officer pointed a gun at him in front of his daughters during a weekend incident in Southlake, ‌Texas. Bryant was a three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver with the Cowboys from 2010-17 and finished his career with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020.

In an interview with Outkick, 37-year-old Bryant said he got into a confrontation outside a restaurant on Sunday with two other drivers ​who he said had been driving recklessly and ​had cut him off in traffic.

Bryant said one of ⁠the men threatened him and seemed to "insinuate" that "he'll ​shoot me or whatever." Instead of a gun, Bryant said ​the man pulled out a cellphone and began recording the interaction.


"I told him, you know, get the phone off me," Bryant told ​Outkick. "So what I ended up doing is I knocked ​the phone out of his hand."

A police officer arrived and ordered ‌all ⁠three men to get on the ground. A video posted on X by Outkick shows police standing over three men who are handcuffed and facedown in a parking ​lot.

Bryant said he ​received a ⁠citation for assault by contact and instructions to appear at Southlake Municipal Court on ​or before November 20. "I was really more ​so concerned ⁠about my children, you know, looking at their dad, you know, being on the ground with a gun pointed ⁠at ​me," Bryant said.
