Cleveland Browns cut DT Perrion Winfrey after report of altercation

Just days before veterans report to training camp, the Cleveland Browns have released second-year defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey after another off-the-field incident came to light.

According to a police report obtained by the Akron Beacon-Journal, Winfrey has been listed as a suspect in an aggravated robbery incident in downtown Cleveland. A woman claimed Wednesday that Winfrey threatened her while in possession of a gun Tuesday evening. The woman said she and a friend knew Winfrey and called out his name when they saw him in a hotel lobby. Winfrey reportedly didn't respond and the woman called him an expletive.

The woman claimed Winfrey grew progressively angry and followed the two women outside the hotel. Scared, the woman began recording on her phone, which prompted Winfrey to go for the phone before saying, "I'll smack the (expletive) outta you" and hitting her on the left side of her neck.

The woman also claimed Winfrey pulled up his shirt to reveal a handgun in his waistband.

Winfrey earlier was arrested in Texas in April and charged with misdemeanor assault. That case was dismissed after the completion of a pretrial diversion program on June 9.

The fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma appeared in 13 games last season for the Browns, recording 22 tackles and 0.5 sacks.

He was inactive for four games, including a Week 2 suspension by the team because of an internal disciplinary matter.

Winfrey also missed a game with a head injury that he sustained in a non-football situation.
