Money can do great and horrible things to a family.  It’s pretty sad though when it gets so bad that cops need to be involved.  Family members have been pressuring Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyron Smith for money, sources told ESPNDallas.com.

According to a police report obtained by the Dallas Morning News, a 911 call was made after family members showed up at Smith’s North Dallas home and proceeded to “harass and torment” him “in the pursuit of collecting financial gain.”

It was just the latest in a series of attempts to get money from Smith, sources confirmed Thursday after the situation was first reported by the newspaper.

Smith declined comment after Wedneday’s practice at the team’s facilities in Valley Ranch.

According to sources, family members have continued to ask Smith for money even after he gave them a large sum after he was picked ninth overall in the 2011 NFL draft and signed to a four-year, $12.5 million contract by the Cowboys.

Smith filed a protective order during the summer against his mother, Frankie Pinkney, and stepfather, Roy Pinkney, sources said. Smith has three sisters and two brothers, who also are prohibited from making contact with Smith on behalf of his parents.

Multiple sources told the Morning News that Cowboys security had to remove one of Tyron Smith’s family members from the team’s practice facility during training camp in Oxnard, Calif., about two hours from Riverside, where Smith’s parents own a cleaning business.
