A Florida police officer has alleged that New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson turned crude and lewd during a recent traffic stop, and threatened to sexually assault the officer’s wife.

The report goes on to say that Anderson refused to cooperate with officers and physically resisted being placed in the cruiser. The report also alleges that Anderson said “that when he got out he was going to find my wife, f**k her and nut in her eye.”
Anderson reportedly continued making threats like that for an unreported amount of time He allegedly threatened the officer and his family repeatedly. “He also began to brag about how much money he has and how all I was doing was trying to do is ‘Ruin his fun,'” the report says.
