Overview

  • Turpin was booked into the Collin County Jail in McKinney, Texas, on July 6 and charged with a Class B misdemeanor for marijuana possession and a Class A misdemeanor for unlawful carrying of a weapon.
  • He posted a $500 bond for the drug charge and a $1,000 bond for the firearm count before being released pending his next court appearance.
  • The 28-year-old All-Pro returner led the NFL in kickoff return yards in 2024 and signed a three-year, $13.5 million extension with Dallas on March 11.
  • Turpin’s 2017 assault arrest at TCU ended his college career, and he now faces potential fines or suspensions under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
  • With training camp set to begin in Oxnard, California, the Cowboys must navigate uncertainty over Turpin’s role in their special teams and offensive game plan.
