The Shady McCoy assault situation continues to grow as new details emerge. Earlier reports have McCoy sending two officers to the hospital.
From 6ABC:
It happened around 2:30 a.m. Sunday at the Recess Lounge located at 125 South 2nd Street in Old City. It was there that McCoy, and a friend, were involved in a physical altercation with the two officers, sources said. Sources also say that while McCoy and his friend were not arrested, they are the focus of the investigation.
The police report has emerged and if true, the situation looks bleak for McCoy.
The report states that officers Darnell Jessie, Roland Butler and Sergeant Daniel Ayers purchased four bottles of champagne that evening. When Butler “moved to another location with his bottle,” former Pitt football player Tamarcus Porter “approached him and tried to pull the bottle from his hand.” According to the report, “an argument ensued as to the ownership of the bottle,” at which point McCoy, Brinkley and Christopher Henderson “assisted [Porter].” During the ensuing altercation, according to the report, Butler was knocked to the ground and “punched, kicked and stomped about his body and head multiple times.”
The NFL will definitely keep their eye on McCoy and we’ve seen that they don’t need a conviction to hand down discipline.
