Bills' McIntyre passes polygraph
Updated: August 20, 2010, 11:11 PM
Buffalo Bills fullback Corey McIntyre passed a polygraph test “with flying colors,” his agent said Tuesday, describing the accusations that the player exposed himself in front of a Florida woman as “outrageous and harmful allegations.”
“It’s a case of mistaken identity,” Brett J. Tessler told The Buffalo News. “I don’t know who it was, but it sure as hell wasn’t Corey McIntyre.”
Also Tuesday, Port St. Lucie, Fla., police, who arrested McIntyre on Thursday, denied claims that McIntyre has been cleared of the charge.
“At this time, the charges are pending,” said Thomas Nichols, Port St. Lucie police public information officer. “At this time, we do not believe that Corey McIntyre has been cleared of anything.”
McIntyre, 30, whom the Bills signed late last September, is accused of fondling himself outside the home of a 59- year-old Port St. Lucie woman March
20. He was charged with a misdemeanor count of exposure of sexual organs.
The woman told police that someone knocked at her window that morning, and when she looked out the window, she saw the man exposing himself. Because the charge is 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.
Tessler said that McIntyre was detained by police while riding his bicycle on the same route he took every morning as part of his workout routine.
According to the agent, the woman said the man who exposed himself was wearing a white T-shirt; when McIntyre was picked up, he was wearing a navy blue hooded sweat shirt and a gray long-sleeve nylon workout shirt, Tessler said.
“This horrible case of misidentification has caused Corey and his family a great deal of pain and embarrassment,” Tessler stated in an e-mail sent to reporters Tuesday. “Like I said before, Corey McIntyre is one of the highest character people I’ve known and the last guy who would do what he’s been accused of.”
McIntyre has not appeared at this week’s Bills organized team activities, as Tessler said the team gave him some time to address the criminal case in Florida.
“Corey feels terrible about the embarrassment that this has brought to the Bills,” he added.
