Eagles DB Nate Allen has been cleared by Fort Myers authorities; Wild allegations made
Last week Nate Allen the safety of the Philadelphia Eagles was detained in Fort Myers, Florida by police because of an allegation of a female seeing a man masturbating in his vehicle. Well Allen was detained because of what he driving and wearing. The Fort Myers Police Department has cleared him of the allegation and let him leave, according to Pro Football Talk.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Office of the State Attorney for the 20th Judicial Circuit in Fort Myers, Florida has found that Allen “could not have been the perpetrator” that triggered the allegations.
Last Monday, a 16-year-old girl called 911 to inform police that “she saw a man in a large black two door or four door pick-up, most likely a Ford, with his window down masturbating in the truck.” She said the man was in his mid-40s to early 50, with a gray/white goatee. She also said the man was wearing a red shirt and a white visor.
Police later saw Allen driving a black Ford F-250 truck, and wearing a red T-shirt and white cap. He was stopped and detained while the girl came to the traffic stop for the purposes of identifying Allen. It’s unclear whether she positively identified the 27-year-old Allen; the State Attorney’s memo exonerating Allen notes that this method of identification is “inherently suggestive and leads to potential misidentification.”
