Report: Bengals DB Mackensie Alexander arrested on one count of battery
Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Mackensie Alexander was arrested on one count of battery in Collier County, Florida, on Tuesday night.
The report comes from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Alexander left the Bengals to return home after his father went missing Monday. According to Pelissero, the veteran defensive back allegedly confronted the man who left his father behind:
“Mackensie Alexander remains in custody and no arrest report has been released. My understanding is he allegedly confronted the man who left behind his father, Jean Odney Alexandre, on a berry-picking trip.”
Authorities in Florida have been searching for Jean Odney Alexandre, 65, who went missing after traveling more than 80 miles to pick palmetto berries and was left behind by a man he traveled with, per a press release.
The Bengals had a day off Tuesday when Alexander left the team.
