Fans say 'Arrest That Thug' after Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin caught with gun and marijuana
Just a few months ago, KaVontae Turpin was locking in his future with the Cowboys, fresh off a Pro Bowl season and a multi-million-dollar extension. Now? He's sitting in a Collin County jail cell, facing marijuana and firearm charges after a July 6 arrest in Allen, Texas.
Yeah, this one caught fans off guard and let's just say, Cowboys Twitter is in shambles. Let's break down what we know, how fans are reacting, and what this could mean for Dallas' special teams star.
Cowboys WR
and return specialist KaVontae Turpin arrested for marijuana and weapon possession in Allen, Texas
According to multiple reports, Turpin was arrested early Saturday morning (July 6) and booked into the Collin County jail. He's facing two separate charges:
Class B misdemeanor: Possession of less than two ounces of marijuana
Class A misdemeanor: Unlawful carrying of a weapon
He's currently being held on a $1,500 bond, $500 for the weed charge, and $1,000 for the gun.
As of now, there's been no word from the Cowboys, the league, or Turpin himself.
And just to paint the picture here, it's July. Not preseason. Not regular season. Not playoffs. July. Which makes this one sting even more.
This time last year, Turpin was arguably the Cowboys' most electric player on special teams. The 5'9' speedster led the league in kick return average (33.5 yards per return), earned First-Team All-Pro honors, and gave Dallas its longest return TD of the season, a legendary 99-yarder.

The team rewarded him with a 3-year, $13.5 million extension this past March, betting big on his future not just as a returner, but as a bigger piece of the offense. He had fans buzzing going into 2025.
But now, all that momentum is… well, paused. Hard.
Fans are frustrated and exhausted by another Cowboys off-field headline
Cowboys fans are tired. Every time it seems like the team is building something solid, boom—drama. And this one stings because Turpin had become such a reliable highlight machine.
KaVontae Turpin's arrest has Cowboys fans reliving the team's worst off-field déjà vu
While many are still waiting on more facts before jumping to conclusions, it's safe to say no one's thrilled about the headlines right now.
The Cowboys and
NFL
may wait for legal clarity before making decisions
At the time of this writing, the Cowboys haven't released any public statement on Turpin's arrest. Given that these are misdemeanor charges, the team might let the legal process play out before determining any consequences.
Still, the NFL's personal conduct policy could come into play, and even misdemeanors can trigger discipline depending on context. With training camp set to start in late July, this could become a bigger distraction if things aren't resolved quickly.

Pratitee keen to make a mark
Bengaluru: India has witnessed a significant rise in chess over the past few years. D. Gukesh and R. Praggnanandhaa have emerged as the top representatives of this trend, and the performance across various age categories is promising. Among those making their mark is Bengaluru's Pratitee Bordoloi, who is eager to follow in their footsteps. The 12-year-old recently won a gold medal in the U-12 category at the FIDE World Cup in Batumi, Georgia. She has an impressive collection of medals, including two international titles from last year, along with silver medals in her budding career. It's quite an achievement for someone who took up the sport four years ago. Interestingly, her mother, Pranti Dutta Bordoloi, introduced her to chess, believing that Pratitee's strong mathematical skills could translate well into the game. "My mother noticed that I was good at math calculations. That's when she suggested I try chess, since it also involves a lot of calculation. I'm glad that I did," said Pratitee, who returned to the city late Friday after her victory in Georgia. Currently coached by GM Pravin Thipsay, Pratitee started participating in state competitions in the U-9 category, where she found success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Her accomplishments at the national level helped her family realise her potential.

While the seventh-grade student at Shishya BEML Public School is focused on her upcoming term examinations, which begin on July 18, her next major competition will be the World Cadet Championship in Kazakhstan this September. Pratitee trains for an average of four hours a day, increasing to eight hours as competitions approach. "After my exams, I will be able to concentrate on my training," said Pratitee, revealing her aspirations. "I would love to win the Women's World Championship in the future."

Addl SP, co commander arrested for taking bribe
Jaipur: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Monday arrested a Rajasthan Police Service (RPS) officer of additional SP rank and a company commander for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 2 lakh to reinstate a suspended Home Guard constable and assign him to duty. According to officials, the ACB Jaipur City II unit laid the trap after receiving a complaint from a suspended Home Guard constable, who alleged that additional SP Navneet Joshi, posted as commandant at the Home Guard Training Centre, and company commander Chandrapal Singh Shekhawat were demanding a bribe of Rs 2 lakh in eight monthly instalments of Rs 25,000 each. The accused were caught red-handed while accepting the first instalment of Rs 25,000 from the complainant. The trap was led by an ACB team and executed at the Home Guard Training Centre located on MI Road in Jaipur. "The complainant informed us that Joshi and Shekhawat were pressuring him to pay Rs 25,000 each month for eight months to lift his suspension and put him back on duty. Our verification confirmed the allegation, and accordingly, the trap was set," said an ACB official. Officials added that during the trap operation on Monday afternoon, the complainant handed over Rs 25,000 as the first instalment, and both accused were immediately caught accepting the bribe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Aged 50-85 With No Life Insurance Could Get This Reassured Get Quote Undo "The money was being collected by Shekhawat and transferred to Joshi," the official added. Following the arrests, ACB teams launched simultaneous searches at the residences of both officials. At Joshi's residence, Rs 4.85 lakh in cash and documents for five plots were recovered. From Shekhawat's premises, the ACB recovered Rs 2.57 lakh in cash, documents for two plots, and papers related to other properties, including a residential asset. Officials suspect that there may be more Home Guard constables who were either asked to pay or have already paid bribes for reinstatement or duty assignments. "We are currently focusing on the trap case, although the possibility of Joshi being involved in asking for bribes from other constables cannot be ruled out," said the official. The bureau confirmed that both Joshi and Shekhawat are being interrogated under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Senior ACB officers said that the documents recovered are being scrutinised to assess whether the accused officers possess assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.
