The Dallas Cowboys have cut wide receiver Lucky Whitehead on the same day police in Virginia announced he is facing misdemeanor petty larceny charges stemming from an arrest in June.
However, Whitehead's agent, told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport that Whitehead was not in Virginia at the time of the incident. Furthermore, Rapoport reported on Inside Training Camp Live that he reviewed Whitehead's flight records from the day he was reportedly arrested. The flight records indicate Whitehead flew to Dulles International Airport in Dallas only six hours after his arrest.
Prince William County Police told NFL.com a man identified as Whitehead was arrested on June 22 around 1:30 a.m. ET after being accused of shoplifting less than $200 worth of merchandise from a convenience store in Woodbridge, Virginia. Police responded to a call made by a convenience store employee, who said Whitehead ran out of the store without paying for some merchandise. Police located Whitehead in the parking lot and arrested him a short time later.
Whitehead failed to show up for his scheduled arraignment on July 6 and a warrant was issued for his arrest, per Prince William County General Court records. He has another court hearing scheduled for August 10.
When asked about the arrest by reporters after training camp practice Monday, Whitehead responded, "I didn't even know about that."
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he learned about Whitehead's arrest while on the practice field Monday and met with him briefly.
Whitehead is entering his third season with the Cowboys out of Florida Atlantic. Last season, he recorded three catches for 48 yards.
Around The NFL will have more on the Cowboys cutting Whitehead soon.
