Chargers’ Cromartie Investigated For Bar Incident; Under Suspicion For Assault

San Diego, CA (AHN) – San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie is the target of investigation after reports said he assaulted another person with a deadly weapon during an after-hours celebration at a Pacific Beach bar.

Cromartie allegedly threw a champagne bottle across the bar. It hit a 24-year-old patron in the head. While Cromartie wasn’t arrested, the patron sustained minor injuries.

The victim was taken to a local hospital, where three staples were put in his head. He also underwent a CAT scan to see if there was any damage.

Eyewitness reports say that Cromartie approached a group of patrons, and threw the bottle into the back of the man’s head.

The cornerback claimed the bottle ’slipped out of his hand.’

On his Twitter account, Cromartie wrote: “I want to apologize to Charger nation and my fans. There’s [some] stuff out [about] me that’s not true. It will come out. God Bless.”

Cromartie’s agent told TMZ that his client did not actually throw the bottle, and that numerous people were spraying champagne everywhere.
