## Summary

Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant has hired a law firm after receiving a citation for assault by contact, a Class C misdemeanor, following an October parking lot altercation in Southlake, Texas. Bryant says he knocked a phone from a man’s hand during an argument that began after he accused two men of reckless driving; the charge is an allegation, and the account does not report a court outcome.

Bryant said one man threatened to shoot him, though he acknowledged the man had no gun and was recording on his phone. Police said they responded at about 12:59 p.m. on 25 October to reports of a fight and a possible weapon, drew firearms as a precaution and temporarily detained several people; no firearms were found. Bryant was cited and released at the scene.
