Overview

  • Turpin was pulled over in Allen, Texas, on July 5 after authorities clocked him at 97 mph in a 70 mph zone with a visible unholstered firearm and less than two ounces of marijuana in his vehicle.
  • He was booked into Collin County Jail on Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana and Class A misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon charges and posted bond to secure his release on July 6.
  • The 28-year-old return specialist signed a three-year, $18 million extension in March and has not yet faced any formal discipline from the NFL under its Personal Conduct Policy.
  • This arrest compounds a pattern of off-field legal troubles that began with Turpin’s 2018 dismissal from TCU following domestic violence convictions.
  • The Cowboys have made no official comment on roster implications as law enforcement and team conduct reviews continue while his court case moves forward.
