Ex-Dolphins Receiver Davone Bess Pleads Not Guilty To Unlawful Flight

GILBERT (CBSMiami/AP) — Former NFL wide receiver Davone Bess’ career that came to an abrupt halt, and his post-playing career isn’t going much better.

Bess has pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawful flight from a law-enforcement vehicle near his suburban Phoenix home.

The 30-year-old Bess was arraigned Tuesday in Maricopa County Superior Court.

According to charging documents, Bess was stopped by police in Gilbert on June 19 for driving without his headlights on.

The documents say Bess pointed his finger like a gun at officers and moved it up and down as if pretending to fire a weapon.
