Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander, who left the team Tuesday after his father was reported missing out on, has been apprehended in Florida on one count of battery.
Alexander was arrested Tuesday by the Collier County Sheriffs Office, according to jail records. Alexander, 26, remained in custody since Wednesday early morning.
An arrest report has actually not yet been launched, however NFL Network reported Wednesday that Alexander was arrested after allegedly confronting the man who left his father behind while on a berry-picking trip.
Alexanders father, Jean Odney Alexandre (different spellings for their surnames), was reported missing out on after he and another guy traveled to Okeechobee County on Monday to pick berries in a grassy field, according to the Okeechobee County Sheriffs Office. Alexandre, 65, was left behind by the other guy and was reported missing out on late Monday night.
Authorities in Florida are still searching for Alexandre.
Alexander, who signed a 1 year deal with the Bengals this offseason, was at the groups practice on Monday. Players had Tuesday off and will resume practice Wednesday afternoon.
