Arrests

12:19 PM PT -- Ezekiel's father, Stacy Elliott, has issued a statement proclaiming his son's innocence.

"The reported allegations and Internet postings regarding our son are completely false. Ezekiel has done nothing wrong."

"The police have investigated this matter and eyewitnesses have verified the lack of any wrongdoing. The actual evidence in this matter clearly indicates what the real motivation was behind the police being called."

"We are confident that when the truth comes to light it will reveal the falsity of these claims. Ezekiel has been fully cooperative with the police and will continue to do so -- along with cooperating with the NFL -- moving forward."

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been named a suspect in a domestic violence police report obtained by TMZ Sports ... but the 21-year-old has DENIED any wrongdoing and was NOT arrested.

10:25 PM PT -- The judge agreed with prosecutors and just ruled Suge's defense team cannot receive additional info about some of the potential witnesses but they did get several names.

Suge Knight is a very dangerous man whose criminal record stretches almost 30 years ... at least that's the point prosecutors are trying to make in order to protect witnesses from his wrath.

Suge's defense team has asked prosecutors in the murder case for their witness list -- but prosecutors say they're hesitant to release that info given Suge's lengthy criminal past.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors list numerous run-ins Suge has had with the law over the years -- including an attempted murder charge in '87, assault with a firearm in '95 and ordering a bodyguard to punch a woman. Their list went on and on.

And get this ... prosecutors say Suge's so intimidating, when new rappers come to L.A. or Vegas, they're required to pay a monetary "tax" to stay safe.

The judge will decide if prosecutors have to release the witness names. A hearing is scheduled for Friday.

Buffalo Sabres superstar Evander Kane has been arrested in Buffalo -- stemming from an alleged altercation at a Buffalo bar back in June.

24-year-old Kane surrendered to police early Friday morning -- after allegedly getting into it with a bouncer and several women at the Bottoms Up bar after 3 AM on June 24th.

According to reports, Kane allegedly yanked one of the women by the hair and grabbed her throat while pushing her into his car. The bouncer tried to break it up and Kane put his hands on him too. The entire incident was reportedly captured on security video.

He's expected to be charged with one count of misdemeanor criminal trespass and four counts of non-criminal harassment.

Young Buck threatened to burn down his ex-girlfriend's apartment ... according to cops in Tennessee.

Law enforcement sources tell us YB was picked up after his ex-gf reported the rapper texted her the threat on Wednesday ... then showed up at her apartment, kicked down the door, but left without disturbing anything inside.

Cops arrested him on Thursday. He was in custody for a few hours before being released on a $5k bond.

We're told Young Buck is currently on federal probation, and this arrest could mean he'll be busted for a violation.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Tommie Lee was flat out lying when she claimed she was brutalized for no reason by cops -- at least according to the police report -- but she maintains she's innocent.

Tommie blasted the Georgia State Patrol Tuesday, posting a video of an officer yanking her from the backseat of a Jeep back in January and arresting her. She claimed she was a passenger and was manhandled for no reason.

According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- when deputies pulled the Jeep over in the ATL area they noticed lots of movement in the vehicle.

Deputies say the guy in the driver's seat first lied, but then admitted he had switched with Tommie -- who jumped in the back.

That would explain why deputies wanted Tommie out of the backseat. They demanded she step out of the vehicle several times, but she held her ground. Deputies then pulled her out and hooked her up.

Cops say Tommie's eyes were watery, bloodshot and her speech was slurred, so she was booked for drunk driving, disorderly conduct and driving on an expired license.

And, for bad measure, she peed herself in the cruiser on the way to the station.

Adrien Broner is back behind bars in Cincinnati -- after the judge threw the book at the boxer for arriving to court more than 3 HOURS late.

We reached out to Tom's rep, so far no word back.

The co-founder of a product featured on "Shark Tank" is in serious trouble after he was busted for allegedly pulling a gun on someone outside his home.

Burbank police tell TMZ ... Mike Barzman -- who pitched "Invisiplug" in season 5 -- went off the rails earlier this month on a man smoking in front of his house. We're told Mike got into a heated argument over the ciggy, and pulled out a gun threatening to kill the man.

We're told cops arrived at his home the next day and recovered a semi-automatic handgun. Barzman was arrested for felony assault with a firearm. He posted $50k bail the next day.

Barzman's attorney, Gregory Brenner, says his client did have an unloaded gun on him ... but never pointed it at the smoker and never threatened him. In fact, he says Barzman is the one who felt threatened.

Draymond Green was getting the business from a guy outside a bar when he finally had enough and allegedly struck the guy ... according to witnesses.

Former NFL QB Marcus Vick copped a plea deal in his April arrest for fighting cops, but he's still going to do time behind bars ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Michael Vick's younger brother was being arrested in Virginia on a warrant -- from a previous case -- when he attacked the cops who tried to take him into custody. He was charged with felony assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.

According to court records, 32-year-old Vick cut a deal with prosecutors and pled guilty to resisting arrest ... and in exchange, the other charges were dropped.

He was sentenced to 1 year in jail but will only be there for another week or so. Eleven months of the sentence were suspended, and he's getting credit for 19 days already served.

He's already in lockup. When he gets out of jail, he'll be on unsupervised probation for a year.

The obsessed fan who made a trespassy plea of matrimony at Taylor Swift's Rhode Island mansion was arrested just 1 day before for exposing his penis on the road.

Law enforcement in Maine tells TMZ, Joseph Bernatche was busted Tuesday for running into the middle of the street and flashing his penis to a passing motorist.

Cops say Bernatche pulled the stunt as a way to "expose the difference between sex and love." Yes, they say he clearly has mental health issues.

Bernatche was booked on indecent conduct and released the next morning, just in time to show up at Taylor's Rhode Island mansion hysterically professing his love, saying he wanted to marry her.

Bernatche was taken to a local hospital for a mental evaluation and his car was towed.

Katt Williams is once again a wanted man -- after all, it's been more than a week.

Katt was due in a Georgia court on June 20th for his latest battery case, but he was a no-show. The court gave him 10 days to contact the court with an explanation, but it was radio silence. The judge did what judges do and issued a warrant for his arrest.

TMZ broke the story ... Katt was arrested for hurling a salt shaker at a restaurant manager, busting open the guy's lip.

The incident was one in a string of bizarre arrests this year ... from allegedly assaulting a pool store clerk, to brawling with a teenager.

Chris Cornell's alleged stalker showed up to his show Wednesday night and was quickly cuffed and taken away ... and now, she'll have to deal with the feds.

Law enforcement in Kentucky tells TMZ Jessica Robbins was picked up outside Cornell's Louisville concert after trying to enter the venue. Sources close to Chris say every tour venue has had a pic of Robbins and has been on high alert to stop her ... and that move paid off.

Our sources say Chris was informed of the arrest before the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Robbins was charged with stalking Cornell in 2014 but went missing in May after missing a court date and ditching her ankle monitor ... which she's been wearing while out on bail.

TMZ Sports has obtained police body cam footage from the SWAT team raid on ex-NFL wide receiver Davone Bess ... including the moment officers sicced an attack dog on him.

27 police officers assisted in the June 19th incident -- including the SWAT team, which was called in because Bess had barricaded himself in his Arizona home, brandished a knife and had threatened to shoot cops.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the whole thing started when Bess fled during a routine traffic stop -- and locked himself in his Gilbert, AZ home.

The report paints a picture of a very mentally disturbed person -- with 30-year-old Bess repeatedly making bizarre demands, incoherent statements and losing track of where he was.

Cops ultimately used a K9 unit to apprehend Bess, fearing he was a danger to himself and others. According to the report, the dog bit Bess for 30 seconds.

After he was taken into custody, Bess demanded a hamburger and K-Y Jelly ... fell asleep while being questioned by officers ... and eventually explained that he initially fled from cops because he was "searching for peace."

Earlier in the evening, Bess' mother told officers her son suffered from depression and had multiple head injuries from playing in the NFL. Bess was in the league from 2008 to 2013.

She also said he had been hospitalized weeks before the incident, had made suicidal statements in the past and that the family was trying to get him help for mental health issues.

A seemingly confused Bess admitted to smoking marijuana, drinking vodka and taking Zoloft (an anti-depression, anti-anxiety drug) before the police incident.

Bess was ultimately arrested and charged with unlawful flight from a law enforcement vehicle. If convicted, he faces up to 2 years in prison. His family clearly wants a judge to order him to get mental help instead of a jail sentence.

Bess has since plead not guilty and is due back in court in August.
