FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - A woman called police saying Buffalo
Bills rookie wide receiver James Hardy was beating up his father
and had pulled a gun when she yelled for him to stop.
The witness told officers she called out for Hardy to stop after
hearing a loud noise in the back yard about 1:30 p.m. Sunday,
according to a city police report.
Fort Wayne police spokesman Michael Joyner said Tuesday no
charges were filed because Hardy was gone when officers arrived and Hardy's father did not want to press charges.
The police report quoted the elder Hardy as saying his son has a
lot of anger toward him because he was in prison when his son was
young.
Neither Hardy nor his agent, Eugene Parker, immediately
responded to phone messages seeking comment.
The Bills released a statement today, saying "We have spoken to law enforcement officials and they have informed us that they have looked into this and have no plans to pursue the matter any further. We also spoke to James last night and will continue to speak with him today, but indications are that this matter has been resolved.
