Lucky Whitehead told his agent that he wasn’t arrested for shoplifting because he wasn’t at the gas station at the time of the robbery.
Here is his agent’s comments.
Lucky Whitehead’s agent, David Rich, said his client was not in Virginia when the incident occurred and it’s a case of mistaken identity.
On June 22, Whitehead was in Dallas, per his flight ticket that Rich has a copy of. Whitehead’s United flight left 7:18 am direct to Washington D.C. that morning and landed at 11:30 am – that is 10 hours after the shoplifting crime occurred in Woodbridge, Va.
Rich told the Cowboys he didn’t appear in court because he never received the citation and summons. The reason he didn’t receive the citation and summons is because he wasn’t in the state when the crime occurred, Rich said. Still the Cowboys announced they released Whitehead.
Rich has told the Cowboys this information. He says the plane record speaks for itself. “It’s just unfortunate for the kid,” Rich said.
There are some missing hours there that would need to be accounted for, but hopefully it will be cleared up soon.
The Cowboys obviously didn’t believe him because they cut him immediately. Either he is lying or the cops really screwed this up.
We will know soon.
