Bills' Aaron Kromer placed on indefinite leave

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - The Buffalo Bills placed offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer on indefinite paid administrative leave following his arrest over the weekend, the team announced in a statement.

"Over the last few days, our organization has continued to gather information in regards to the alleged incident involving offensive line coach Aaron Kromer," Bills president Russ Brandon said.

"We have been in regular discussions with the league office and have decided to place Aaron on indefinite paid administrative leave in accordance with the league's Personal Conduct Policy while we continue to work our way through the investigative process with the league."

Kromer is accused of misdemeanor battery following an incident in Walton County, Fla., in which the deputy sheriff reported a violent altercation between he and a minor.

Upon arrival at Inlet Beach, sheriffs were told Kromer and his son confronted three boys about the use of his beach chairs.

The alleged victims reported that Kromer threw their fishing pole into the water and pushed one of them to the ground, punching him in the left eye. The sheriff was also told that Kromer threatened to kill the boy's family if they reported him to the police.

The alleged incident took place after 1 a.m and Kromer was released on bond roughly two hours later. A 15 year position coach in the NFL, Kromer was hired by the Bills after spending the last two seasons heading the Chicago Bears' offensive line.
