Charges against Bills' McIntyre dropped
Updated: August 21, 2010, 8:15 AM
Police in Florida today dropped a charge of sexual exposure against Buffalo Bills fullback
Corey McIntyre.
McIntyre was arrested last month on a misdemeanor charge of exposing his sexual organs
following an alleged incident March 20 in Port St. Lucie, Fla. A 59-year-old Port St. Lucie
woman initially told police she saw a man fondling himself outside the window of her home, and
she identified McIntyre as the man.
However, in follow-up meetings with prosecutors, the woman said she never actually saw the
man's genitals and was "unable to give other specifics in reference to her allegation," a
police spokesman in Port St. Lucie said.
"I just want to say I'm happy my name has been cleared today," McIntyre said after the
Bills' practice today in Orchard Park. "I have maintained my innocence all through this
process and I'm just glad it's out of the way. I'm sorry for the embarrassment to my family
and to the Bills, and now my focus is on training camp."
McIntrye, 30, joined the Bills last September. He initially was detained by police while
riding his bicycle on the same route he took every morning as part of his workout routine.
Because the charge was a misdemeanor, not a felony, and because the conduct was not
observed by a police officer, authorities released McIntyre after the incident and obtained an
arrest warrant for him in a process that often can take weeks for a non-felony.
However, police decided the evidence was lacking.
"Her statement to prosecutors was questionable," police spokesman Tom Nichols said.
Said McIntyre's attorney, Brett Tessler: "Like I said from the start, Corey is the last guy
who would have done what he was accused of, and we are very pleased that these absurd and
utterly ridiculous charges have been dropped. However, they never should have been filed in
the first place, and Corey, his family and the Bills never should have been subjected to this
kind of pain and embarrassment."
McIntyre last month passed a polygraph test "with flying colors," Tessler said.
