Mackensie Alexander is understandably emotional right now as the search for his father continues this week.
The Cincinnati Bengals cornerback left training camp on Tuesday after the disappearance of his father the day before. The situation has now taken another strange turn after he was arrested for battery after returning home to Florida, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jean Odney Alexandre went on a berry-picking trip with another man, but was reportedly left behind during this trip. Alexander’s arrest allegedly stemmed from him confronting the man who left his father behind.
The search for his father continues, according to the Collier County sheriff’s department.
“I can tell you that we have helicopter and ground searches in Okeechobee County that will be going on through the night,” the Collier County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement obtained by Pelissero.
