Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant’s past behavior, his connection to any appearance of impropriety, will continue to be scrutinized as long as his own outrage stokes the nagging rumor of video footage that would be extremely damaging to the reputation of the free-agent-to-be superstar.

“Walmart” is one phrase commonly attached to this scuttlebutt, and Bryant indeed was questioned in relation to a “disturbance” in the parking lot of a Walmart in July 2011. NFL Media obtained the incident report from police department in Lancaster, Texas.

No charges were pursued or filed in the case. There is no mention anywhere in the report of video or surveillance footage.

Here is a summary of the episode described by police in the report:

— Someone reported seeing a black female dragged from one vehicle to another by a black male in the Walmart parking lot.

— A Lancaster police officer was dispatched to the scene at 6:08 a.m.

— The vehicle the woman allegedly was dragged from was a white Mercedes, registered to Bryant, which remained in the parking lot with a door open and a child’s toy on the ground outside.

— A Cadillac Escalade, also registered to Bryant, soon arrived, according to a Walmart security guard who witnessed the flow of vehicles. The two male passengers each said they were called by a woman, the alleged dragging victim, who asked them to pick up “her” Mercedes from the parking lot.

— While these two men were being questioned, Bryant arrived on the scene in a Bentley, with the alleged female victim.

— The woman stated to the questioning officer she had been in the parking lot with another man (Alex Penson) and they had an argument. She said she was “not assaulted or injured in any way” and left the parking lot with Penson in his vehicle. She said she was dropped off at a friend’s house, and contacted Bryant to pick her up.

— Bryant told the police officer a version of the same: The woman contacted him and said she had been in an argument. He went to pick her up and accompanied her to the parking lot “for support.”

That’s it. Now, many millions of dollars are on the line this spring for the 26-year-old Bryant and his fragile reputation. The Cowboys offered a 10-year, $114 million pact ($5 million signing bonus, $20 million guaranteed), according to NFL Media, and Bryant turned it down.
