A day after former Bears offensive coordinator and current Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer was arrested in Florida on a misdemeanor battery charge, the Walton County Sheriff's Office released a redacted version of the arrest report.

In the report, made public Monday, Kromer's arrest just before 2 a.m. Sunday is detailed as stemming from an argument over beach chairs near his home on Inlet Beach in Florida.

Kromer was taken into custody, jailed and ultimately released early Sunday morning after he was accused of throwing a boy into the ground and punching him in the face.

David Sanders, the officer called to the scene to investigate, noted in the formal arrest report that Kromer's accuser and two friends were fishing on the beach when the football coach and his son, Zachery, confronted them.

According to the arrest report, the accuser stated that "Aaron was yelling at the boys about using their beach chairs that they left by the beach access. Aaron grabbed their fishing pole from them and threw their pole into the water. Aaron then pushed [the accuser] to the ground and punched him in the face. Aaron then told the boys to return the chairs to where they found them. [The accuser] stated Aaron told him that if he reported him to the police that he would kill his family."

At that point, the report indicates that Kromer returned to his home while his son stayed behind to talk to the three other boys while also trying to help them retrieve their fishing pole.

"It was determined," the report says, "that Kromer did willfully and intentionally strike [the accuser] against his will and causing bodily harm to his left eye."

The accuser's name is redacted from the released version of the arrest report because he is a juvenile. Statements from two other witnesses are also redacted.

Kromer was fired by the Bears in December after spending two seasons as offensive coordinator. He landed a new job with the Buffalo Bills as an offensive line coach shortly after.

Whether he will keep that job or face harsh discipline from the Bills or the NFL in connection with Sunday morning's incident remains to be seen. The league's updated personal conduct policy aims to crack down hard against league employees who are involved in violent transgressions.
