Dez Bryant's mother: Son 'tried to kill me'

 Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was arrested Monday after allegedly assaulting his mother, Angela, on Saturday, according to De Soto, Texas, police Capt. Ron Smith.

By accident, Bryant became angry when his mother asked him to leave her home during an argument on Saturday afternoon. Initially, the conference on Tuesday, news, Smith said Bryant hit his mother in the face, but the police, which was released later Tuesday, said that Bryant allegedly grabbed her shirt, her hair and "hit her in the face of his ball cap."

Angela Bryant, whose T-shirt, supposedly broken during the incident, shown on the 911, it was not the first time when she was attacked by his son.

"I can not keep letting him do it," said Angela Bryant, who made the call from a neighboring house a family friend and adviser, David Wells. "I can not keep letting him make me like this. I'm tired. I'm going to put an end to it today. I'm going to put an end to it today. I'm tired."

Employees who answered the 911 mother-Bryant did not observe any injuries, and she does not complain of pain at the time, the report said. On Monday, after officials contacted the mother of Bryant in his home, the report says that she said she had pain in wrists, hands and arms. The staff there is swelling around the wrist at the time, the report said.

After being taken to the police station DeSoto Angela Bryant, 37 years, provided a written statement in detail the alleged attack. According to the report, she said, Dez Bryant repeatedly punched her in the hands and wrists. The staff observed bruising on both arms. She also complained that her chest pain was from Bryant pushing her.

After a warrant was issued for his arrest, Bryant appealed on Monday and was booked without incident.

Bryant was charged with misdemeanor class for assaulting a female family member and was released after several hours without talking to detectives, Smith said. Bryant's lawyer, West Royce, told The Associated Press his client had posted $ 1,500 bond.

"It's very simple," Smith said. "He and his mom got in an argument. She had a few injuries. We made the arrest."

Police plans to send his case to the end of this week in Dallas prosecutors, Smith said.

West said Tuesday that he is still investigating the circumstances of the incident on Saturday. One of its main tasks, he said, was "to make sure that the family heal."

"I know that Dez loves his mother," said West. "I know his mother loves him."

West declined to say if Dez Bryant and Angela said on Saturday, or that may cause their arguments, but denies that Dez Bryant hit his mother in the face with a ball cap.

"This statement, and I hope that people will be outraged by the assertion, but they must wait until the facts come out to establish whether or not that actually happened. And I say this not happened," West says.

West also denied any previous incidents between the physical Bryant and his mother.

Class of offense is punishable by a fine of up to $ 4000 and up to one year in prison. Bryant's arrest also exposes a possible penalty under the personal conduct policy NFL.

Cowboys said they knew about the arrest but declined further comment. Agent Bryant, Drew Rosenhaus, also declined to comment.

This is the first arrest of Bryant, but it's not the first incident that required police involvement because Cowboys traded up to select the first Oklahoma State star with the 24th overall pick in the 2010 draft.

In January, Bryant was arrested by police but not arrested after the alleged quarrel at a nightclub in Miami Beach.

Last summer, off-duty police working security at the center of Dallas' high-kicking Bryant and friends of the center, because of inappropriate attire (sagging pants), and language. Bryant has been temporarily banned in the mall.

Bryant, who many consider the top-10 talent, but slipped in the draft because of concerns the team "in nature, was also sued for unpaid debts for jewelry and sporting events before he was drafted.

Angela Bryant has a criminal record that includes several convictions on charges of drug trafficking.

She served 18 months in prison on charges of selling cocaine in 1997. She also was sentenced to 10 years probation in connection with the April 2009 arrest for selling cocaine to police informants in Lufkin, Texas, and was convicted of two crimes considered for possession of controlled substances, manufacture and supply of controlled substances.

NFL star Junior Seau dead at 43


Future Football Hall of Fame Junior Seau shot himself in the chest with the environment - moments after the final call from his mother.

Seau, whose behavior has grown erratic in recent years, and also sent a text message to his ex-wife and three children on Tuesday evening said simply: "I love you."

"Monday, Tuesday, my husband and I went to visit him," his mother, Luisa Seau, he said. "He was out of town. He spoke to me. He joked with me. . . He called me a "homegirl".

This changed dramatically when they talked for a few hours before he was found dead in his Oceanside, Calif., home. "He knows, I heard the voice of bad on Wednesday morning."

Violent death, which immediately raised the question about the impact of concussions in the game, stunned the football world - but the hardest-hit closer to home football field stars.



"Please - take me, take me," wailed the mother Seau, who collapsed outside the Sao star midfielder Diego area home. "Leave my son."

"But it's too late," she cried. "It's too late."

Seau is the biggest star is still in demand in a tragic wave of suicides NFL. Former San Diego Charger, which was nominated for 12 Pro Bowls during a stellar 20-year career, left no note.

But warning signs abounded for the outgoing 43-year-old former player who was widely respected throughout the NFL for his skill and passion on the field.

Police said a gun was found in the bedroom, and that seems Seau was shot once in the chest. His corpse was found by his girlfriend.

Seau mother could not understand that he took his own life.

"Show your love for her son," Luisa Seau shouted the crowd of onlookers, some of whom wore the same color as the Chargers Seau did for 12 years.

"Where's Jr.?" She cried before falling outside the coastal home. "I do not know who did this to my son."

Seau, who also played with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, left the game in 2009 - but his time in retirement was confused.

Two years ago he was driving an SUV with a 30-foot cliff in California for a few hours after before he was arrested on suspicion of beating his girlfriend.

He received only minor injuries, and said that he fell asleep at the wheel, although the police initially investigated a crash as a suicide attempt.

Seau's death - and the way he killed himself - raised suspicions that he was suffering from the effects of a concussion and injuries from his days playing inside linebacker.

The solution to the Seau shooting himself in the chest, but not in the head caused the comparison to the 2011 suicide of a former Chicago Bears star Dave Duerson.

Duerson, 50, also turned gun on himself, but said in a note that he wants to keep his brain, so that we could explore those studies, football-related head injury.

The researchers found that after he was serious brain injury.

Seau never listed on the injury report as the NFL with a concussion, but he famously tough striker, who played one of the strongest positions of the sport.

Suicide has become all too familiar result for the ex-players NFL.

Some of them have taken their lives in recent years, including Ray Easterling, the former Atlanta Falcons safety, who shot himself last week.

Easterling was one of the 1,300 former players who have filed a concussion-related lawsuits against the league.

NFL dismissed the action suits that accused the league long hidden dangers of brain injury.

Although the league has tightened its rules of concussions in recent years a growing debate about the safety of the most popular sport in the country.

Seau starred at USC before being drafted in the first round on the Chargers in 1990.

He was named 1990's NFL All Decade Team and has been perhaps the most popular battery in team history.

He was the only star in San Diego, the team will appear in the Super Bowl - but that 1994 team that lost to San Francisco 49ers, has been pursuing the tragedy in recent years.

Seau is now the eighth player in this team, to die young. Others died from heart problems or a freak accident, including the crash and the lightning.

He never won a championship, losing a Super Bowl with the Chargers and one with the 2007 Patriots.
And though he left the team 3,000 miles from San Diego, the city where he became a star has always been his home.

He opened a restaurant in the city center and can often be seen along the Pacific Ocean.

"Everything on the Chargers in total shock and disbelief right now," said team. "We ask everyone to stop what they are doing, and send their prayers Jr. and his family."

Seau will be eligible to be elected to the Football Hall of Fame in 2014.

An autopsy is expected to be completed later this week, officials said.
