Wichita police said they responded to a domestic violence
call at a hotel in the pre-dawn hours on Wednesday and found
Randle, 23, with a small amount of marijuana.
Randle was released by police and given a court date. Police did
not release the court date.
The football player's agent, Erik Burkhardt, said on his Twitter
feed: "There was zero 'violence' of any kind, domestic or
otherwise."
A spokesman for the Dallas Cowboys was not immediately available
to comment on the incident.
In October, Randle was arrested for stealing a two pairs of
underwear and a small bottle of cologne from a Dallas-area
Dillard's department store.
The Cowboys said they fined Randle $29,117 for the shoplifting
offense. His base salary for the 2014 season was $495,000.
Randle rushed for 343 yards on 51 attempts for the Cowboys in
2014, scoring three touchdowns. He was selected 151st overall by
the Cowboys in the 2013 draft after playing at Oklahoma State.
