DC Star KaVontae Turpin was arrested for nearing speeds of 100 MPH and had a handgun in his back seat. He was arrested this past weekend.

Police from Allen DP say he was pulled over at 11:49 PM on Saturday after they tagged him at 97MPH in a 70MPH zone. He was driving a 2022 Dodge. They also nabbed him on possession of marijuana.

From AP News:

The former TCU standout is going into his fourth season with the Cowboys and recently signed an $18 million, three-year contract.

Turpin’s TCU career ended in 2018 when he was kicked off the team after the school found out about a second domestic violence case against him. The case from New Mexico was discovered following an alleged incident with his girlfriend at an off-campus apartment in Fort Worth. Both cases involved the same woman.

The Cowboys signed Turpin out of the USFL in 2022. He had played in several satellite football leagues before joining the USFL.

Turpin secured his spot on the team by returning a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in a 2022 preseason game. He was one of the best return men in the NFL his first two years, but didn’t have any returns for TDs until his All-Pro season in 2024. Turpin returned a punt and a kickoff for scores last season.
