I'm curious to hear the other side of this story. This seems out of character for Coach Kromer. It does seem like alcohol was involved.

 

well there you go...those beach chair setups causing real trouble this time...#jailtime #readespnlink

 

oops. Jumped the gun. Looks like the 3 boys took his chairs...WAlton County to sort out Monday....

 

If you don't want someone using your chairs, put them away!

Ridiculous that behavior is escalating to these levels.

 

photos show the chairs in question have the name of some company on the backs. #rentals

 

So he punched a kid in the face and threatened his life over rental chairs that were left out. Didn't think this could get stupider, but I was wrong!

 

Just remember when the incident happened last year in Grayton. Everybody thought the vendor was wrong initially. Turned out to be completely the opposite.

Why not let this play out. Just because the a**hats in the media do it, doesn't mean we have to.

 

Where are the photos of said chairs? Arent any chairs left on the beach after sunset considered "abandoned" and picked up like any other trash on our beaches? Why is this guy accosting a couple of kids over something he abandoned on the beach?

 

Buffalo Bills coach's not excellent Inlet Beach adventure

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.

 

Update: "Charges are being dismissed at the request of the parents of the children involved."
