Former NFL linebacker Keith Bulluck was coming out of a gay bar when he encountered a cab driver that is now accusing the former Tennessee Titan of stealing $100 from him, leading to his arrest in Tennessee on robbery charges, according to ProFootballZone.com.
Bulluck was taken into custody around 3 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 25 after police received a call of someone arguing with a driver in front of an enterprise in the 1700 block of Church Street.
According to ProFootballZone, the unidentified cab driver told police he was waiting on a fare who had already paid when he was approached by a man he later identified as Bulluck about a ride. When the driver told Bulluck he already had a fare, the former Tennessee Titan allegedly became enraged, grabbed his shirt, assaulted him and took the money before fleeing the scene.
The website adds police later located Bulluck across the street, where the driver positively identified him as the man who had attacked him. The charges lodged against Bulluck, who has since posted bail and been released, constitute a class C felony.
"I've been here for 10 years and this is what you want to talk about?" Bulluck said to inquiring reporters camped outside the jail after he was released. Bulluck had been part of the broadcast crew for the Titans preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday night.
Authorities said Bulluck, who played ten seasons with the Titans, may have been very intoxicated at the time of the incident.
