 Kromer was arrested by sheriffs on a misdemeanor battery charge in
Walton County, Fla., last weekend.
In a statement issued Sunday, the Walton County Sheriff's office
said Kromer and son Zachary were fishing on Saturday when they
confronted three boys over beach chairs.
Kromer is alleged to have hit one of the boys in the face after
throwing a fishing pole into the water. According to the sheriff's
report, Kromer then threatened to kill the boy's family if he
reported the incident to authorities.
The 48-year-old Kromer is in his first year in Buffalo on coach Rex
Ryan's staff after working for two years in Chicago as Bears
offensive coordinator.

Gilbert (Ariz.) Police in suburban Phoenix said McNabb's blood
alcohol tested at 0.17. According to police, McNabb's vehicle
rear-ended a vehicle of a police officer's wife on June 28. No one
was injured and McNabb was later released after being cited.

In December 2013, the 38-year-old McNabb was arrested for DUI and
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
