Startling: Marcell Dareus, a former Alabama and NFL defensive end, was arrested for domestic abuse.
Former Alabama and NFL defensive lineman Marcell Dareus was arrested on charges of domestic violence, according to reports from local authorities. Dareus, who played for the University of Alabama before a successful NFL career, was taken into custody in his home state of Alabama. The incident allegedly occurred at a private residence, and the authorities responded to a domestic disturbance call. Specific details surrounding the altercation have not been fully disclosed, but Dareus has reportedly been charged with domestic violence-related offenses.
Dareus, 34, is best known for his standout college career with the Alabama Crimson Tide under head coach Nick Saban. His performance at Alabama led to him being selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. During his 10-year NFL career, Dareus also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was a dominant force along the defensive line, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and establishing himself as one of the league’s top defensive tackles.
Since retiring from the NFL, Dareus has largely remained out of the spotlight. His arrest for domestic violence has raised concerns and has led to calls for legal action and further investigation into the incident. As the case progresses, Dareus’ future and any potential legal consequences will likely remain a topic of public scrutiny.
