Former NFL player Demetrius Byrd is behind bars in a Miami-Dade jail following a tense altercation on a public transport bus. The 40-year-old former athlete was booked on Monday afternoon after police intercepted a Miami Beach transit vehicle near Abbott Avenue and Indian Creek Drive.
According to local police files, chaos erupted when Byrd began shouting at terrified commuters. Another passenger stepped forward in an effort to defuse the volatile atmosphere.
