FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested for assaulting an officer/firefighter Friday morning.Bess, 28, was taken into custody by police at Fort Lauderdale International Airport around 6:19 a.m. Friday.
According to the arrest report, Bess was walking down the concourse acting “irrationally, dancing, singing with his pants repeatedly falling down.”
The arrest report said Bess was asked by law enforcement if he was alright and gave no response. BSO said Bess then took a cup of coffee not belonging to him and then squeezed the cup until the liquid poured over the officers uniform.
The arresting officer said Bess then took a fighting stance and the officer hit the football player with his ASP in the leg, but it had no effect.
The officer said Bess then took off his shirt and again took up a fighting stance and refused repeated orders to get on the ground. Once back-up units arrived, Bess surrendered and was taken into custody.
The arrest report said Bess appeared to “be under the influence of an unknown narcotic due to his irrational behavior.”
“He appeared to be looking through me when I was talking to him,” the arresting officer wrote.”
Bess, now with the Cleveland Browns, has drawn extra scrutiny in recent days after posting a picture on his Twitter account with what could be marijuana, a drink of some kind, a cigar, and all with the television on the documentary the Cocaine Cowboys, according to CBSSports.com.
The NFL is aware of the picture, but NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to say what the league may do about it, according to CBSSports.com.
A source told Cleveland Plain Dealer beat writer Mary Kay Cabot that Bess was dealing with a serious family issue back home in Oakland.
Last December, Bess posted a separate picture that showed him lighting up something on his desk.
Bess missed the last two games of the season last year after leaving the team for personal reasons. He had a league-high 14 drops last season and had more than 28 yards receiving in just three of 14 games played in 2013, according to CBSSports.com.
Bess began his career as a Miami Dolphin before being traded to the Browns before the current season.

Sounds like he's going through some issues. No real rationale for this other than he's not in his right mind.

Definitely going through some shit. He was arrested and hospitalized for similar behavior right before he was traded by the Dolphins:
The police report detailing Davone Bess' alleged assault of a deputy at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Friday depicts an unstable, violent man, likely on drugs.
It's the same condition in which authorities discovered Bess, the former Dolphins receiver, in his Cooper City home 10 months earlier — and the reason his family had him hospitalized against his will.
Six BSO deputies were needed that night to restrain Bess, who was screaming, “Hide the guns!” “Where is my weed?” and “I want to get in the end zone; throw me the football!” according to the incident report.
Word of Bess’ prior meltdown was never made public until now.
A month after his hospitalization, the Dolphins traded him to the Cleveland Browns, where he remains to this day. A team spokesman said the Browns are aware of the situation and are working to gather more information.
Bess, 28, already had drawn scrutiny in recent days for two pictures of what appears to be marijuana that he posted on Twitter.
Then on Friday, his problems worsened. Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested him at the airport, charging him with assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.
Here’s what happened, according to the report:
Early in the morning, Bess was seen walking down the airport concourse “acting irrationally” — singing and dancing with his pants falling down.
When BSO deputy Thomas O’Brien, who works the airport detail, approached Bess, the football player crushed a cup of coffee on him and got into a fighting stance.
O’Brien, fearing for his safety, struck Bess in the leg with his baton. It apparently had no effect. Bess took off his shirt and got back into a fighting stance.
Finally, after backup arrived, Bess surrendered and was taken into custody. The deputy believes Bess was on drugs.
“He appeared to be looking through me when I was talking to him,” O’Brien wrote.
CBS-4 Miami caught up with Bess, who had bonded out of jail, and asked what he plans to do next.
“Get back to helping kids all over the world,” said Bess, the Miami Dolphins’ 2011 Walter Payton Man of the Year, an award that honors players for their work away from the field.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported late Friday that Bess has been dealing with personal issues for some time, including insomnia, and was trying to catch a flight back home to seek help.
That jibes with the police report from March 11, 2013, unearthed by The Miami Herald.
On that night, BSO was called to Bess' Cooper City home. When the first deputy arrived, he noted a strong smell of cannabis coming from the master bedroom. The deputy also observed several males trying to restrain an agitated, incoherent Bess, who was trying to throw them off. He started screaming about guns and drugs and football. Efforts by fire rescue to sedate him were unsuccessful.
Finally, a half-dozen cops were able to pin him down. Bess was taken to Memorial East Hospital for observation.
Bess' mother, Chinell Carpenter, had flown in that day from California after receiving a call that her son was not acting like himself. She said then that Bess had not slept in three days and was going through some serious personal issues. Carpenter added that Bess had no prior psychiatric history and was on no medication.Comment
