Previous reports had indicated that an arrest warrant was expected to be coming for McCoy and his friends after they got into a fight with some off-duty police officers on Feb. 7. However, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office was said to be pushing back against the police department. You can read more about the reasons why here.
The fight allegedly started over a bottle of champagne, and two off-duty police officers were hospitalized. One suffered a broken nose and the other broken ribs. McCoy’s attorney has insisted that his client did nothing wrong.
The NFL has been conducting an independent investigation into the incident.
