Titans’ Dupree turns himself in on assault charge

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.

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.
