went on to play several more seasons in the NFL. Tynes and the Buccaneers agreed to a confidential settlement in 2017. Personal life Tynes is married to Amanda, and the couple have twin sons. Tynes is the seventh Scottish-born player in NFL history. He is the son of a former American Navy SEAL and a Scottish mother. The family lived in Campbeltown until he was 10 years old, before moving to the United States. His father, Larry, was a member of SEAL Team 2, stationed in Scotland in the early 1970s. Larry is currently a detective in the Santa Rosa County, Florida, Sheriff's Department in Milton, Florida. One of Lawrence Tynes's brothers, Jason, served in the United States Army in Iraq and Kuwait. His other brother, Mark, is serving 27 years in federal prison on drug and witness intimidation charges stemming from his 2004 involvement in a plan to move of marijuana between Texas and Florida. Tynes has sought a presidential pardon to shorten or commute his brother's sentence. He has acknowledged his brother's guilt but feels the sentence was too harsh. However, in the proceedings, Mark was reportedly belligerent and uncooperative. The judge who presided at the case had parameters in which to sentence Mark and, because of his foul and unruly behaviour, gave Mark the maximum sentence. Tynes enjoys soccer and supports Celtic Football Club. Legal trouble On August 17, 2005, Tynes turned himself in to Pierce County, Wisconsin, jail after punching a bar patron and breaking a bouncer's nose in a bar fight the previous weekend (the Chiefs' training camp at the time was based out of River Falls). Tynes was charged with one felony count of substantial battery and one count of misdemeanor battery. He was released on a $15,000 signature bond. Tynes paid a $397 fine for the incident.
