Joseph Randle, cut by Cowboys, arrested at Kansas casino after assaulting officer

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle is in legal trouble again. He was released on November 3, following a demotion that left him unhappy. Now, according to KWCH, the 23-year-old has been arrested for assaulting an officer Tuesday night in front of the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, KS.

Sources at the casino tell us he was initially asked to leave for being too drunk – but on the way out, spit on the floor and assaulted a security officer.

The Cowboys cut ties with Randle earlier this season and, just before they did, Jerry Jones revealed that the team had assigned counselors to work with Randle due to unspecified mental health issues.

The report said the Wichita native was held on several charges including criminal threat, assault of a law enforcement officer, battery and disorderly conduct. In October 2014, he was caught on video attempting to steal underwear and cologne from a Dallas-area department store.

Should Randle ever return to the National Football League (and that’s a big if), he is facing a possible one to two-game suspension for that incident in Kansas.
