Offensive line coach Aaron Kromer received a six-game suspension from the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The move came two days after Florida prosecutors dismissed misdemeanor battery charges against Kromer and his son, Zachery Kromer. Aaron Kromer was arrested in Walton County, Fla., on July 12 after allegedly punching a boy and threatening to kill his family over a dispute involving beach chairs.

Bills president Russ Brandon issued a statement that read: “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, September 7, 2015 and end with the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game on October 18, 2015.

“We worked in conjunction with the NFL on this matter and we are highly supportive of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy that holds all NFL and club employees to a higher standard.”

After the end of the suspension, Kromer will be eligible to join the team for its Oct. 25 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Kromer had been on indefinite paid administrative leave since July 14. The 48-year-old assistant is in his first year in Buffalo on coach Rex Ryan’s staff after working for two years in Chicago as offensive coordinator. Kromer made headlines last season after admitting he was the source of criticism directed toward Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.

Kromer previously coached with the New Orleans Saints (2008-12), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2005-07) and Oakland Raiders (2001-04).
