   DENVER — Broncos linebackers coach Michael Wilhoite has been booked in the   
   Denver downtown jail on suspicion of second degree assault of a police   
   officer, according to jail records.   
      
   Wilhoite appeared in Denver County Court Monday morning. He was advised of   
   his charges and Denver Magistrate Arnie Beckman set Wilhoite's bail at   
   $500.   
      
   According to a probable cause statement, a Denver Police officer working   
   on curb assignment at Denver International Airport noticed Wilhoite pull   
   up into the second lane of the departure area and leave his gray 2021 Ford   
   Bronco unattended. When Wilhoite returned to his vehicle the officer told   
   him he could not leave his vehicle unattended.   
      
   Wilhoite told the officer to "shut the (expletive) up," the probable cause   
   statement says. The officer told Wilhoite again that he could not leave   
   his vehicle unattended and Wilhoite gave the officer the same reply,   
   according to the probable cause statement.   
      
   Wilhoite then approached the officer and bumped his chest into the   
   officer, causing the officer to step back, the statement says. The officer   
   shoved Wilhoite back and then Wilhoite punched the officer, causing the   
   officer to fall to the ground, according to the statement.   
      
   As Wilhoite got into his car, the officer used his taser, according to   
   police. After the cycle of the taser ended, Wilhoite closed the door and   
   drove away, the statement says.   
      
   Wilhoite was booked into Denver County Jail Sunday.   
      
   "We are aware of a situation involving Michael Wilhoite that occurred   
   Sunday and are in the process of gathering more information,'' a Broncos   
   spokesperson said.   
      
   Wilhoite, 38, is a former NFL player who joined the Broncos’ staff as Sean   
   Payton’s outside linebackers coach prior to the 2023 season. Undrafted out   
   of Division II Washburn, where he played free safety and outside   
   linebacker, Wilhoite played five years mostly as an inside linebacker for   
   the San Francisco 49ers from 2012-16 and a sixth season for Seattle in   
   2017. He started 45 games in his final four seasons.   
      
   He then began his coaching career under Payton in 2019 as a special teams   
   assistant for the New Orleans Saints and was a defensive assistant there   
   in 2020. Wilhoite then became a linebackers coach for the Los Angeles   
   Chargers in 2021-22 before rejoining Payton’s staff in 2023.
