Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyron Smith spends his Sundays helping to protect star quarterback Tony Romo from being harassed and tormented by opposing defenses. On Tuesday, police had to protect him from being harassed and tormented by his closest family members over money.
On Tuesday afternoon, Dallas police responded to a 911 call to Smith’s North Dallas home, where two of his sisters along with a third unknown person showed up to “harass and torment” him “in the pursuit of collecting financial gain,” according to police reports. It was the second time in four days that the siblings showed up at his home.
Smith, 21, is in his second year with the Cowboys, his first as their starting left tackle, is considered to be a rising star. The ninth-overall pick out of Southern California in 2011, the 6-foot-5, 308-pound Smith signed to a four-year, $12.5 million contract last season with “America’s Team” and it has brought with it a lot of unwanted attention from his family.
Over the summer, Smith filed a restraining order through his attorneys against his stepfather, Roy Pinkney, and his mother, Frankie Pinkney, barring them from contacting Smith, even through siblings.
