Buffalo Bills offensive coach arrested in Florida beach chair fracas

(Reuters) - A member of the Buffalo Bills coaching staff was arrested early Sunday in a seaside Florida community after he was accused of punching a boy in the face and threatening to kill the youth's family in an altercation over beach chairs, according to police.

Aaron Kromer, an offensive line coach who has been in the National Football League for 15 years, was jailed on a misdemeanor battery charge but later released on bond, the Walton County Sheriff's Office said in an online statement.

According to the sheriff's office, three boys who had been fishing at Inlet Beach on Florida's Panhandle on Saturday were confronted by Kromer and his son over the use of several chairs left near the beach.
