LB Tyrel Dodson has been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
TMZ Sports reported Dodson and his girlfriend got into an argument in her apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona, when he allegedly vomited on the carpet inside her bedroom after drinking.
The two then argued and Dodson allegedly slammed the woman against a wall. The woman told police she locked herself in a bathroom and told Dodson to leave, but he allegedly broke down the door, then later knocked her to the floor. She also alleges he stole thousands of dollars from a safe under the bed before leaving.
Police arrested Dodson the next day at a nightclub. He reportedly denied the allegations against him, but was arraigned on three charges involving domestic violence, disorderly conduct and damage to property, all misdemeanors.
Dodson, 20, signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M this offseason. He led the team in tackles as a sophomore and was third in tackles as a junior last year.
