Tyrel Dodson likely had dreams of playing in the NFL and making a ton of money doing it. He’ll likely never get that chance after he found himself arrested.
The Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker reportedly got arrested over the weekend that was the result of a fight between Dodson and his girlfriend in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to TMZ Sports.
Here’s how it all went down:
“Buffalo Bills rookie LB Tyrel Dodson was pulled out of a nightclub and arrested Sunday after his GF told cops he roughed her up during a violent altercation hours earlier … TMZ Sports has learned.”
The 20-year-old allegedly vomited on the carpet inside her bedroom after drinking too much. Things got crazy afterwards.
“Tyrel’s GF alleges the 6′ 2”, 240-lb football player got physical with her when she confronted him about the vomit … allegedly grabbing her “forcefully” and “shoving her against the wall.”
Tyrel’s GF says she slapped him in the face … and says Dodson responded by slapping her back.
She says she fled from the scene … but when she returned, Tyrel was still there — so she locked herself inside her bathroom and told him to leave the premises.
That’s when she says Tyrel busted through the door … causing the door to smack her in the head, leaving her with a small welt.
She says the argument then spilled out into the kitchen, where things escalated further … with Dodson shoving her to the ground after a scuffle over her cell phone.
Dodson’s GF eventually left the apartment … but when she returned — she says Tyrel had taken her keys, $500 from her purse and an additional $8,000 to $15,000 in cash from a safe under her bed.”
Cops did not appear to believe Tyrel when he was contacted by them and he claimed they only had a verbal argument, adding he only took about $1,000 from her because it was “money they both shared.”

“…they found probable cause to arrest him on several charges including domestic violence — and when they found out later in the evening he was at Mint Nightclub, they went in to get him.
After Dodson was removed from the club, he again denied attacking his GF and showed cops a red mark on his face … though he never outright accused her of assault.”
Tyrel was booked on three charges — 1 domestic violence count, 1 charge of disorderly conduct and one charge of damage to property — all misdemeanors.”
Dodson was an un-drafted free agent out of Texas A&M after playing 33 games in three years with the Aggies.
Bills and a team spokesperson told TMZ, “We are aware of the incident involving Tyrel Dodson last weekend. We have been looking further into the matter and will continue to gather information as the legal process continues.”
