Cowboys Safety Markquese Bell Arrested on Felony Drug Charge in Texas

The case could trigger an NFL conduct review that affects his roster standing.

Overview

  • Bell, who was arrested Friday in Prosper, faces a felony count for a controlled substance and a misdemeanor count for marijuana.
  • Collin County records showed him in custody Saturday morning, and authorities have not disclosed the substance or other details.
  • The Cowboys said they are aware and offered no comment, with his agent urging patience as the legal process plays out.
  • Under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, the league can issue fines or a suspension regardless of the court outcome.
  • Bell, 27, is in the second year of a three-year deal after key special-teams work last season, as Dallas added safeties Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke this offseason.
