NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Tennessee Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck has been charged with felony robbery after a cab driver accused him of taking money during an argument.
The driver was waiting outside a bar for a paid fare early Sunday when Bulluck approached him asking for a ride, police said in a statement. The driver said he declined and Bulluck grabbed him by his shirt, took a $100 bill and fled.
In a statement to The Tennessean, Bulluck described the incident as a "misunderstanding between me and the cab driver about getting my money back for a service not rendered."
"At 2 a.m., things could easily get lost in translation, but regardless of who was right or wrong, I regret putting myself in that situation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Bulluck retired from football in 2012 after playing 11 seasons in the NFL, 10 of them with the Titans.
Bulluck worked as an analyst for WKRN-TV Saturday night on the Falcons-Titans game.
He is scheduled to work for the Titans-Vikings preseason game on Thursday in Minneapolis. Station manager Stan Knott was quoted by The Tennessean as saying that a decision hasn't been made on whether to replace Bulluck,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Coach Mike Munchak said Sunday that hadn't heard much of the incident and declined to comment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Munchak was Tennessee's offensive line coach while Bulluck was a linebacker with the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"When he was here playing as a football player, he made good decisions," Munchak said. "I'll wait to hear the information as to what happened, but I am sure it will all get worked out and I am sure it is something he is very innocent in, I hope."
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was the Titans' coach throughout Bulluck's career in Tennessee, recently brought in Bulluck to mentor rookie linebacker Alec Ogletree.
Bulluck was a productive player for the Titans and a team leader. He made the Pro Bowl in 2003,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
