Former Arkansas OL Sebastian Tretola, Titans teammate sued for $500,000 over assault allegations
Two Tennessee Titans players are being sued for $500,000 by a man who claims they beat him up after an argument over 2017 NFL Draft results. One of the players implicated is former Arkansas OL Sebastian Tretola, according to The Tennessean.
The lawsuit, which is for damages based on allegations of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy, was filed by Dante Satterfield Wednesday against Tretola and Titans teammate Tajae Sharpe.
The lawsuit alleges that Satterfield, Tretola and Sharpe were at the Tin Roof Nashville late on April 27, and the trio was discussing the addition of Corey Davis as a first-round pick by the Titans. Satterfield made comments to Sharpe that the newly drafted Davis would take some of Sharpe’s playing time away, and the conversation turned heated.
According to the lawsuit, Sharpe and Tretola asked Satterfield to follow them outside, and then he accuses the two men of beating him up in the alley behind the bar. He was allegedly punched in the face to the point of unconsciousness by Sharpe while Tretola was the lookout. Satterfield suffered broken bones in his face, a concussion and a perforated eardrum, among other injuries.
“The alleged victim who is named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit came to the Midtown Hills precinct (Wednesday) and met with the investigation team and we do have an open investigation taking place,” Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told the Tennessean.
Tretola’s agent didn’t immediately respond to the request. He was a sixth round selection in the 2016 NFL Draft.
