NFL 'Bully' Rich Incognito Threatened Funeral Home Employees: PD

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Football player Richard Incognito was arrested in Scottsdale for threatening to shoot funeral home employees, police said.

According to police, authorities responded to Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary in Scottsdale Monday afternoon for a disorderly conduct call. Police said Incognito, 35, was at the mortuary home regarding funeral arrangements for his father.

"Incognito reportedly was upset with staff and began to damage property inside the business and shout at employees," police said in a statement.

Police allege that at several points while talking to staff, Incognito threatened to retrieve guns from his car to shoot the employees, the statement said.

Incognito was arrested and held on misdemeanor charges of threats and disorderly conduct.

Incognito most recently played for the Buffalo Bills and is currently a free agent. While he played for the Miami Dolphins, Incognito, along with two other players, was accused of harassing fellow teammate, Jonathan Martin, according to an investigation by the NFL.

A report published by the NFL in 2014 said Martin was subjected to "persistent harassing language" and he told investigators he was most offended by persistent vulgar references about his mother and his sister. The report also said that Incognito subjected Martin to racial insults.

"For the most part, Incognito does not dispute saying or writing any of the statements that Martin claimed offended him," the report said. "Further, Incognito admitted that at times the very purpose of the verbal taunts was to “get under the skin” of another person."
