Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer has been suspended by the team for six games as punishment for an alleged incident this offseason that led to his arrest. As reported by Shutdown Corner, Kromer was arrested for assault and battery after allegedly confronting a group of boys about the use of beach chairs, and then punching a boy in the face.

As noted by the Walton County Sheriff's office report, "Victims told deputies Kromer grabbed ther fishing pole and threw the pole into the water and then pushed one of the boys to the ground and punched him in the face."

Shutdown Corner also notes that Kromer told one of the boys that if he reported him to the police, that he would "kill his family."

Kromer has been mired in controversy over the past year. As the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator last year, it was found that he was the source of an anonymous leak for a report that said the Bears had "buyer's remorse" about quarterback Jay Cutler; that incident to him being fired at the end of the season, along with the rest of the coaching staff.

"Over the past several weeks, the Bills organization has gathered information regarding the incident involving Offensive Line Coach Aaron Kromer," Bills managing partner and president Russ Brandon said. "Today, we have concluded our investigation and the Buffalo Bills will suspend Kromer without pay for the first six games of the 2015 NFL regular season. The suspension will begin on Monday, September 7, 2015 and end with the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game on October 18, 2015.

"We worked in conjunction with the NFL on this matter and we are highly supportive of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy that holds all NFL and club employees to a higher standard," Brandon added.
