SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Former NFL offensive lineman Richie Incognito has been arrested on charges he threatened to shoot employees of a funeral home, authorities said Tuesday.
Police in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale said Incognito, a former Husker, was being held on suspicion of misdemeanor charges of threats and disorderly conduct.
Police said Incognito was at the Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary on Monday to make arrangements for his father, who died last weekend.
"Incognito reportedly was upset with staff and began to damage property inside the business and shout at employees," said Sgt. Ben Hoster, a police spokesman.
