LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff threatened team staff and said he "felt like killing everybody in the building" the day before he was cut, according to a suburban Chicago police report released Friday.
Ratliff also said, "'I am the devil" and he wished staff member's children would die, the Lake Forest police report dated Oct. 21 said. It says an officer responded when someone at Halas Hall called police that day to report that Ratliff was "very angry and irrational." He was seen that day having an animated discussion with general manager Ryan Pace in the parking lot outside of Halas Hall.
