Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly punched a juvenile boy in the face and threatened to kill his family. From the sound of it, Kromer is planning to argue that he acted in self-defense.
Alex Marvez of FOX Sports cites a “source” who claims Kromer was threatened by some “belligerent” kids and he could not identify their age because it was dark out. The boys had supposedly taken beach chairs that belonged to Kromer without permission.
“It was dark out. He couldn’t see the people,” Marvez was told. “The kids were belligerent and threatened him. Bottom line, they stole his property and he couldn’t identify them because it was dark out and they threatened him.”
How dark does it have to be for a person to tell the difference between a serious situation and some kids messing around? I highly doubt that excuse is going to hold up in court if Kromer is charged with misdemeanor battery or assaulting a minor.
As we mentioned before, some of you may be familiar with Kromer after he created a buzz by anonymously bashing Jay Cutler last season. Despite that, Rex Ryan still decided to hire the 48-year-old veteran. The working relationship may not last long.
