Overview
- The arrest followed a disturbance on a Miami‑Dade Transit Route 100 bus near Abbott Avenue and Indian Creek Drive, which police say occurred Monday.
- Police allege Byrd removed a silver multi‑tool, opened the blade and walked toward a passenger while asking, "Who wants to die?"
- Officers detained Byrd near the bus stop, recovered the tool during a pat‑down and cited witness statements plus transit surveillance as supporting evidence.
- A judge found probable cause and charged Byrd with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a third‑degree felony.
- Byrd, 40, is a former LSU wide receiver and 2009 NFL draft pick who was granted a $5,000 bond but must also appear on an outstanding domestic violence warrant, a development that will shape upcoming court dates and custody status.
