Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush was arrested near Pittsburgh on Sunday on charges of simple assault and harassment.
The arrest took place in Bell Acres Borough, located in Allegheny County.
The report of the arrest surfaced via KDKA's Colin Dunlap, who shared a court document indicating the charges. Bush is awaiting a preliminary arraignment.
Bush, a former first-round selection, was drafted 10th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Steelers before joining the Seattle Seahawks for the 2023 season.
He signed with the Browns in March 2024. During the 2024 season, he appeared in 16 games, starting 10, and recorded 76 total tackles.
In March of this year, Bush re-signed with the Browns on a one-year contract worth $3.25 million, with $2.97 million guaranteed, according to figures.Upon re-signing with the team, Bush expressed his reasons for returning. "As the season went on, definitely felt like a family, we went through our ups and went through our downs, but we always remained together, and we always had open communication about our status and what we had to do to keep moving forward during the season," Bush said, per the Browns official website.
Beyond the legal process, Bush may face discipline from the National Football League under its Personal Conduct Policy.
No further details regarding the incident were immediately available.
