The Arizona Cardinals are currently in a franchise reboot and rebuild as they put all their eggs in one basket when they selected Kyler Murray with the #1 overall draft pick to be their quarterback of the future.
It hasn’t quite been smooth sailing for offensive guru and head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
On Saturday, TMZ reported defensive end Darius Philon was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Philon allegedly threatened to shoot a woman outside of a strip club on Friday.
“The 6’1”, 286-lb. DE is accused of pointing a handgun at a dancer in the parking lot of the VLive strip club on May 17 around 2:15 AM … according to a police report.
The alleged victim told cops that Philon requested she and another female companion accompany him out to his vehicle where he kept his money. While at his white BMW, Darius allegedly grabbed a black handgun and pointed it at the alleged victims chest … while saying “which one of you wants a bullet?”
Darius allegedly lowered the weapon … before again allegedly pointing it at the woman.
The alleged victim told cops she retreated to the club … and Philon drove away, according to the report.
The alleged victim told police Philon returned to the club the following night — telling her he “wanted to make things right — and asked her to leave with him. She says she denied the request, and attempted to walk away … but claims Darius grabbed her by the arm and prevented her from leaving.
She told cops she was eventually able to get away from him and return to work … however, she says he followed her around for approximately 30 minutes before leaving the club.
The alleged victim did not immediately report the incident to cops. She waited several weeks before going to Phoenix PD … who then launched an investigation.”
Not the best look for a guy who signed a 2-year $10 million contract earlier this offseason.
