“I want to first apologize to the police and to the organizers of the event.  I was minding my own business and unfortunately, was provoked by another person that I was unfamiliar with.  That’s where this all started.  At first, I did not know the individuals who approached me were off duty police officers working security.   My teammate Jerry Smith was trying to help me from being physically harmed and I know he did not mean any disrespect either.  I hope that I have shown in the past that these actions are uncharacteristic for me and I look forward to showing everyone that I am a person with good integrity.”
