Broncos outside linebackers coach Michael Wilhoite was accused of assaulting a police officer over the weekend in Denver, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Wilhoite, 38, was booked in the Denver jail on Sunday on a no-bond hold. He has a court appearance Monday on a charge of suspicion of second-degree assault of a police officer, per reports.
The Broncos issued a statement saying that they are aware of the situation and in the process of gathering more information.
The alleged incident reportedly occurred after Wilhoite dropped someone off at the Denver International Airport.
Wilhoite joined the Broncos' staff in 2023 after previously working for head coach Sean Payton as a defensive assistant and special teams assistant from 2019-20. He was the linebackers coach for the Los Angeles Chargers from 2021-22.
Wilhoite played linebacker in the NFL for six seasons, registering 298 tackles and four interceptions in 79 games (45 starts) with the San Francisco 49ers (2012-16) and Seattle Seahawks (2017).
