Ex-NFL star Dez Bryant ‘punched a teenager, scratched his phone and threatened to kill him,’ 19-year-old says

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was cited for assault following an alleged road rage altercation in Southlake, Texas, on Sunday. A 19-year-old named Noah Reyes accused Bryant of threatening his life, punching his hand, and spiking his phone during a confrontation in a parking lot. Police responded to the scene and temporarily detained multiple individuals, including Bryant, who received a Class C misdemeanor citation for Assault by Contact.

According to Reyes and his friend Terrance Avery, the conflict began after they honked at Bryant on the road. Bryant claimed the teenagers cut him off recklessly and admitted to knocking Reyes' phone away, but disputed the handling of the incident after officers drew weapons in front of his children. Reyes stated that he plans to file a lawsuit against Bryant.
