Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Bud Dupree turned himself in for the misdemeanor assault charge he received in January stemming from an alleged physical altercation at a Nashville Walgreens.

According to Natalie Neysa Alund of the Tennessean, Dupree reported to the Davidson County courthouse for booking on Friday, where he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken.

He is slated to return to court on April 22 for a settlement hearing.

A former first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015, Dupree signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Titans last offseason.

In his first campaign in Nashville, Dupree appeared in 11 games (six starts), but dealt with a setback to his surgically-repaired knee and an abdominal injury that forced him to miss six contests.

He recorded three sacks in what was a mostly disappointing season, but he did appear to be getting his feet under him more and more as the season progressed.

The last time the Titans addressed the situation involving Dupree was days after it happened back in January. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said the team would monitor the situation and wait to see how it plays out.
