Lawyer says McCoy set up attack

The lawyer for the former girlfriend of NFL star LeSean McCoy said the Buffalo Bills running back orchestrated an attack that left her bloody amid attempts to get her to leave his suburban Atlanta mansion, according to the Associated Press.

Attorney Tanya Mitchell Graham said in a statement to news outlets that her client was physically assaulted Tuesday morning by a man who went into the home with no signs of forced entry. The man demanded specific items of jewelry that had been gifted to her from McCoy, who had requested them back on many occasions.

The AP is not identifying the woman, pending further details of the attack.

McCoy and the woman have been in court over his efforts to evict her from the home.

An image of the ex-girlfriend’s bloodied and beaten face was shown in a social media post blaming McCoy for the assault. The football player denied the allegations Tuesday.

Police say former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was attacked during a runin with a facility-service employee at the airport in Atlanta.

Atlanta Police spokesman Jarius Daugherty said Jones confronted ABM Industries employee Frank Ragin after Ragin made a “gesture” toward the football player Tuesday night at HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport. Police said words were exchanged before Ragin struck Jones with a closed fist, causing a cut to Jones’ face.

Cell phone video footage shows that Jones and Ragin traded several punches.

Ragin was arrested on two counts of battery and taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries.

In the NFL supplemental draft, the New York Giants selected Western Michigan cornerback Sam Beal in the third round and Washington chose Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis Alexander in the sixth round.

New York will surrender its third-round pick in next April’s draft in Nashville, and the Redskins will give up a sixth-round pick.
