Elvis Dumervil allegedly showed gun in traffic dispute

Miami Beach Police detective Vivian Hernandez confirmed to NFL.com and NFL Network Monday that Broncos outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil was in fact charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon Saturday night in Miami Beach, Fla. Previously it had been reported that Dumervil had just been arrested and not charged.

The charge -- and the details released to NFL.com and NFL Network on Monday in a police incident report increase the chances of Dumervil facing NFL discipline at some point.

The report indicates that Kristine Ramirez and her husband Juan Cardoza got involved in a traffic dispute with Dumervil and Andy Augste after Cardoza merged in front of a vehicle that Dumervil was driving. The traffic was at a standstill and the report -- verified by another witness -- indicates that a verbal confrontation occurred between Dumervil's car, Ramirez's car, and Augste, who was a passenger in the car in front of Ramirez.

Dumervil allegedly approached Ramirez's car and lifted up his shirt to show a gun in his waistband. Augste allegedly did the same -- displaying a gun -- while also verbally threatening Ramirez.

ATL: Broncos hold their breath

Elvis Dumervil's Miami arrest for aggravated assault could spell trouble for what was a very positive Bronco offseason. Dan Hanzus writes. 

The report then indicates Ramirez backed up her car in an effort to retreat and get away from the situation. Police arrived shortly thereafter and led Dumervil and Augste out of Dumervil's car at gunpoint.

A witness told the police that Ramirez at one point exited her car and threw an object at Dumervil's Land Rover, striking the vehicle.

Dumervil was cited for assault and disturbing the peace during the 2010 season, although those charges were eventually dropped. He could be viewed as a repeat offender by the NFL, which makes eventual discipline more likely.
