Former NFL player Terrelle Pryor was arrested early Wednesday morning and charged with a misdemeanor count of simple assault, and summary offenses of harassment and criminal mischief, according to an online docket.
Pryor left the Westmoreland County Prison on $100,000 unsecured bail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 19.
TMZ Sports has since gotten more details on the situation after he was caught leaving the facility.
“Nothing like that happened,” Pryor said.
According to police documents, Pryor got into an argument with Shalaya Briston, who is the same girl who almost killed him by stabbing him back in 2019.
Via the report:
“In the docs, cops say Pryor had been out with Briston, but returned home while Briston continued on to another bar.
While home, according to cops, Pryor got upset with Briston and blew up her phone … calling her over 50 times and sending her more than 30 unanswered text messages.
Cops say Briston eventually returned to Pryor’s residence, but stayed outside “out of fear of Pryor.”
In the docs, police say Pryor came outside and confronted Briston, shoving her and then slapping her in the face with an open hand.
Cops say as Briston tried to flee … Pryor threw a deck chair at her. Officers add that when she got into her Mercedes, Pryor then threw pumpkins at her car, causing damage to the windshield.
Police say Briston had “inflammation, redness and bruising under her left eye” … and Pryor was ultimately arrested.”
Officers on the scene said Pryor admitted to throwing pumpkins at her, but denied hitting the woman.
Back in June, the former NFL receiver and Ohio State star revealed that he’d been in a crash, sharing footage of the damage that his vehicle sustained in the wreck. Pryor said that he was “luckily still breathing” after the wreck.
After shining as a quarterback at Ohio State, Pryor struggled to transition to the NFL. The 32-year-old Pryor played seven years in the NFL and hasn’t played since the 2018 season.
In 51 NFL games played for five different teams, Pryor caught 115 passes for 1,563 yards and seven touchdowns.
