ex-Husky arrested in Pullman

A former NFL player was arrested twice locally on Monday, the second arrest came after the suspect hitched a ride from a deputy to the alleged crime. 55 year old Pullman area resident Toussaint Tyler was first arrested Monday morning by the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office. Tyler was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence assault for an alleged altercation involving his girlfriend at their trailer home on Albion Road. He was released on his own recognizance during his first court appearance Monday afternoon. A deputy provided Tyler with a courtesy transport from the jail in Colfax to Dissmore’s in Pullman Monday night. That’s when he reportedly tried to steal alcohol and sushi from the grocery store. Pullman Police then brought Tyler into custody for misdemeanor theft. The former New Orleans Saint played for the University of Washington in the late 70’s and early 80′s.
