Report: Assault charges filed Friday against Bryant

Assault charges were scheduled to be filed on Friday against Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, NFL.com reported.

Captain Ron Smith of the DeSoto, Texas, police department told NFL.com that the charges will be Class A misdemeanor charges for assault causing bodily injury and family violence.

The charges resulted from a Saturday incident when his mother, Angela Bryant, called 911 and said that her son had assaulted her. She told police that during an argument with her son, he grabbed her by the shirt and hit her in the face with a ball cap.

After charges are filed, the Dallas County district attorney's office will review the charges.
