Bar fight

While at Colorado, Bieniemy was arrested following a February 1988 bar fight. Both Bieniemy and teammate Kanavis McGhee pleaded no contest—McGhee to a charge of second-degree assault, and Bieniemy to charges of disorderly conduct and fighting in public. It is alleged that racial remarks were used directly at Bieniemy which provoked the physical altercation. They received deferred sentences and were ordered to perform community service. They were also subjected to unspecified disciplinary action by head coach Bill McCartney.

Shoving firefighter

On July 4, 1990, Bieniemy pleaded no contest in an incident in which he was accused of shoving a firefighter who had responded to his mother's house in Denver to douse a garage fire. Bieniemy received an eight-month suspended sentence and was suspended for one game. Bieniemy was instructed to do 40 hours of community service and attend an eight-hour firefighting training session, but Aurora assistant city attorney Mike Hyman alleged that Bieniemy failed to attend the firefighting training session as stipulated when he agreed to plead no contest.

Driving with suspended license

In 1989, Bieniemy was ticketed in Westminster for driving a defective vehicle. Later that same year, he was ticketed for speeding in Aurora. In October 1990, Bieniemy's license was suspended for a year for making an improper left turn. On March 21, 1991, Bieniemy was caught speeding and driving with suspended license on I-70 near Rifle, Colorado, going 92 mph in a 65 mph zone. On April 17, 1991, Bieniemy failed to appear in court. On April 23, 1991, two days after being drafted in the 1991 NFL Draft, a bench warrant was in Colorado for Bieniemy's arrest.

Harassment and choking of female parking attendant

On September 27, 1993, Bieniemy was arrested in Boulder, Colorado for allegedly harassing a female parking attendant. According to the police report, "Bieniemy was with five friends in a parking lot when he allegedly approached a lot attendant from behind and grabbed her by the neck. The victim told police the contact was not painful, but it startled her. She said the man also made comments while holding her about 'about 'a bunch of black males all at once being her worst nightmare.'" Then Bieniemy and his friends allegedly took off their pants and began urinating nearby. One of his friends, Calvin Lucas Graham, was arrested for hitting a witness during the incident and investigated for intimidating a witness. Bieniemy was also named in an outstanding warrant on a charge of driving with a suspended license. As a result of this incident, Bieniemy was banned from the University of Colorado Boulder campus for one year.

DUI

In April 2001, Bieniemy was arrested for driving under the influence and was docked a month's pay.

Bullying of Marcus Houston

From 2001 to 2002, Bieniemy had a long-running rift with injury-prone Colorado star recruit Marcus Houston. Bieniemy questioned Houston's "willingness to play hurt" and demeaned Houston's manhood, calling him "Markeesha" in practices. In light of these circumstances, NCAA waived its rule requiring players to sit out a season after transferring and Houston transferred to Colorado State University in 2003.

Colorado recruiting rape scandal

Bieniemy was the leading recruiter and running backs coach at the University of Colorado from 2001 to 2002 under head coach Gary Barnett. During this time, students and several others alleged they were raped by football players, most notably kicker Katie Hnida. In several depositions taken in 2003 for the lawsuit brought against CU, Bieniemy's name was mentioned to set a pattern of behavior accepted by the university. Bieniemy himself was called by an independent investigative commission appointed by the University of Colorado Board of Regents in 2004 for questioning. After repeated calls for his firing, Barnett was fired in 2005 and never coached again.
