Broncos Coach Michael Wilhoite Allegedly Punched A Cop In The Face Before He Got Tasered And Arrested

You may have heard the wild news about Denver Broncos coach Michael Wilhoite allegedly punching a cop in the face. Yes, you read that right – an NFL coach getting into a scuffle with the law! It’s like something out of a movie, but unfortunately, this is real life.

So here’s the scoop. Wilhoite got into some kind of argument with the cop after “he drove into the airport’s drop-off lane on Sunday afternoon before stepping out of his Ford Bronco and leaving it empty.” Things escalated when Wilhoite threw a punch right at the cop’s face when he attempted to arrest him. Can you imagine? A massive, burly football coach going at it with a law enforcement officer.

According to a police affidavit, reported by the Post, Wilhoite was approached by a uniformed officer, who told him he could not leave his vehicle unattended.

The linebackers coach then allegedly told the officer to ‘shut the (expletive) up’ – twice – before ‘bumping his chest’ into the cop.

According to the affidavit, the officer shoved Wilhoite back, prompting Wilhoite to punch him in the face. After the cop fell to the floor – and Wilhoite returned to his car – the police officer fired his Taser.

It’s said to have hit Wilhoite near his left hip – shocking him briefly – before the former NFL star drove away.

The officer was left with ‘visible injuries’ on his knees and pain in his jaw, according to the affidavit – as cited by the Denver Post.

Wilhoite was later arrested, with bond set at $5,000. According to the Denver Post, the coach’s attorney expects him to be out of jail on Monday.

The Broncos previously told 9 News Denver in a statement: ‘We are aware of a situation involving Michael Wilhoite that occurred Sunday and are in the process of gathering more information.’

Denver Broncos fans everywhere are scratching their heads and wondering how this is going to affect the team. Will there be consequences for Coach Wilhoite?
