If you believe Robert Allenby’s story, after having a few drinks at dinner, he was kidnapped by unknown assailants, robbed and brutally beaten before being thrown on the side of the road.
If you believe the witnesses, none of that actually happened. In fact, one witness according to Deadspin says that Allenby really just went to the strip club.
Two homeless people who came into contact with Allenby that night have already disputed major details in his story. Now a third, Chris Khamis, is claiming that Allenby’s facial injuries were not the result of a beating, but of Allenby drunkenly passing out and bashing his own face on a lava rock. Moments earlier, Allenby apparently told Khamis that he had just come from a strip club, where he had been hoping to “get some action,” and believed that he had been drugged.
Allenby’s story always seemed a bit suspect, the strip club one seems more plausible to me.
