Legal issues
On May 10, 2017, Tretola and teammate Tajae Sharpe were named as defendants in a federal civil Lawsuit that alleges the teammates were at a Nashville bar watching the 2017 NFL draft. Dante R. Satterfield, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, claims he told Sharpe he'd probably lose playing time as a result of the Titans selecting wide receiver Corey Davis in the first round. The report alleges Sharpe responded by challenging him to a fight in a back alley and was accompanied by Tretola as a lookout. Satterfield claims he was knocked unconscious for 12 hours, suffered a concussion, and facial fractures from the incident and is suing for $500,000 in damages.{{cite web|title=Titans players sued for $500K, accused of beating man up over draft results|url=http://fox17.com/news/local/titans-players-sued-for-500-k-accused-of-beating-man-up-over-draft-results| access-date=May 13, 2017| website=fox17.com|date=May 10, 2017}}{{cite web | last=Barchenger | first=Stacey | title=Tajae Sharpe, Titans teammate accused of assault in Nashville man's lawsuit | website=The Tennessean | date=2017-05-11 | url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2017/05/10/tajae-sharpe-titans-teammate-accused-assault-nashville-mans-lawsuit/101532332/ | access-date=2024-11-08}}
