Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer will not be on the sidelines for the first six games of the regular season.
Yahoo! reports that Kromer has been suspended by the Bills for the first six games of the regular season after an ugly incident during the offseason. According to a Walton County Florida police report, Kromer allegedly pushed and punched a young boy over a dispute involving beach chairs. He threatened the boy's family as well, saying to the boy that he will "kill his family." You can checkout the full report of the incident below via Twitter:

The investigation is still ongoing. He was charged with assault and battery.
This is not the first time that Kromer has been in the news. During his time with the Chicago Bears last year, Kromer was the source of a leaked report that the Bears had "buyer's remorse" on current quarterback Jay Cutler. Eventually, he was fired at the end of last season.
Bills president and managing partner Russ Brandon issued a statement over the suspension, stating, "Over the past several weeks the Bills organization has gathered information regarding the incident involving Offensive Line Coach Aaron Kromer. Today we have concluded our investigation and the Buffalo Bills will suspend Coach Kromer without pay for the first six games of the 2015 NFL regular season. The suspension will begin on Monday, Sept. 7, 2015 and end with the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game on Oct. 18, 2015."
Kromer was hired by the Buffalo Bills earlier this offseason to fix the offensive line, which allowed 39 sacks last year.
He will still be on the sidelines for training camp and preseason games.
