Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may have had a role in a fight at a Dallas bar on Sunday, but police are halting the investigation because they can’t find the victim and witnesses aren’t cooperating. Rebecca Lopez of WFAA_TV first reported the Dallas Police Department would suspend the investigation, and the DPD subsequently issued a statement confirming it (Twitter links).
“The assault offense that occurred July 16th at the Clutch Bar located at 2520 Cedar Springs Road has been suspended due to the lack of a complaint,” announced public information officer Melinda Gutierrez. “Dallas detectives made several attempts to contact the victim through various ways but at this time have not been able to make contact. To date no witnesses have come forward to provide any additional information about this incident.”
This is the second positive development regarding this incident for Elliott, whom fellow bar patron Michael Huffman defended afterward, claiming that the Cowboy didn’t do anything wrong. While it looks as if Elliott will escape legal ramifications for this matter, the NFL is presumably still looking into it, and it’s continuing to investigate domestic violence allegations him from 2016. Elliott’s bracing for a suspension stemming from the abuse claims.
Stay low zeke! Lots of people Looking for
Lawsuits. (God)dell. Looking for suspension.
Exactly. Just stay home until this clears.
guess you can punch whoever you want in Dallas as long as Jerry pays the bictim off….
Were you one of the witnesses that’s not coming forward? If not, then shut it. If so, go Cowboys!!!
Dang speeding, pulling down a women’s shirt, evidence for domestic violence, and the bar fight, yet he doesn’t get any suspensions, the other 7 cowboy players in the last 2 years got suspended for doing 1 of these things, but Elliot no because he’ll make godell money
Speeding? Really? How many players have been suspended for speeding? And as far as evidence for domestic violence, there isnt any. Thats why they are not pursuing a criminal investigation. I cant speak on pulling down the girls shirt or even the bar fight, although an employee stated he didnt do anything wrong and the cops are not following thru with investigation. Why should he be suspended again?
That’s why we’re Americas team.
NFL will discuss this matter with Jones at the next team meeting at the Dallas County Jail!
You mean Dallas Country Club
