The Dallas Cowboys, it seems, just can't help themselves.
Any notion that the off the field distractions would dissipate once training camp practices actually began was rendered negative as the team officially made it on field for its first practice of the 2017 training camp.
Wide receiver/kick returner Lucky Whitehead had a warrant out for his arrest after a shoplifting arrest June 22 in Virginia and his failure to appear in court July 6. It was first reported by TMZ.
The court date has been reset to Aug. 10, per court records. He will have to leave training camp to get it taken care of.
The news came as a disappointment to Cowboys officials, who first learned of the incident on Monday.
Whitehead, 25, was arrested in Prince William County, Va., on June 22 for shoplifting/petit larceny under $200.
He was ordered to appear in court July 6, but failed to show, resulting in the warrant for his arrest.
Whitehead had this warrant hanging over his head last week when he made national news after posting on Instragram about his dog being allegedly kidnapped and held for ransom by a Fort Worth rapper.
The dog was soon returned, but Whitehead's already tenuous spot on the Cowboys roster is now in jeopardy.
He is the third Cowboys player to be arrested since the end of last season. Cornerback Nolan Carroll was arrested in Dallas for driving while intoxicated and linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested on two counts of felony aggravated assault.
