Dallas Cowboys player Damontae Kazee‘s bye week has gotten off to a brutal start … the defensive back was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of drunk driving.
According to reports, Kazee was stopped in The Colony, Texas at around 3 AM over a traffic violation when cops say the NFLer had shown signs he had been drinking.
A spokesperson for The Colony police dept. told The Dallas Morning News Kazee then admitted to an officer he had consumed alcohol before getting behind the wheel.
Kazee allegedly failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for DWI, which is a Class B misdemeanor.
Cops tell TMZ Sports … Kazee’s bond was set at $2,500, and he was released just after noon Tuesday.
