Richie Incognito has not been arrested. Technically.
The police were called after the embattled offensive lineman allegedly threw a dumbbell at another man at a Florida gym early Wednesday, according to TMZ Sports.
According to the alleged victim, Incognito was rambling about the government and screamed at him to “get off my f–king playground.” The police reportedly took Incognito away, but didn’t arrest him. Instead, Incognito is under an involuntary psychiatric hold.
Incognito announced his retirement this offseason, citing health problems, but then appeared to want back into the league. The Bills released him from the retired list earlier this week, allowing him to sign with other teams.
“Went to the doctor. My liver and kidneys are shutting down,” he told the Buffalo News in April. “The stress is killing me. It’s just about doing what’s right. I just want to be in the Hall of Fame.”
