Charges filed against Bills’ Whitner[/url]

CLEVELAND (AP)—Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner was formally charged Monday with aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest resulting from an altercation at a Cleveland nightclub early Saturday.

Police used a stun gun on the 23-year-old Whitner outside the House of Blues and then handcuffed him after he forced his way past them. Whitner was taken to jail and released later pending formal charges.

Cleveland police spokesman Thomas Stacho confirmed the charges on Monday and said Whitner is being sent a summons. He said a court date has been set for April 28 for Whitner’s initial appearance.

It was unclear why Whitner tried to leave the club and head for a melee outside, though he told officers, “My cousin’s out there, and they’ve got guns,” according to the police report, Stacho said.

Whitner said he regrets the incident.

“It’s not how I wish to conduct myself, and I apologize to all those involved,” he said in a statement released through agent Neil Cornrich. On Monday, Cornrich had no comment on the charges.

Whitner, who had played college football at Ohio State, was taken by the Bills with the eighth overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft.

He was part of a group celebrating the birthday of Ted Ginn Jr., wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins. Whitner and Ginn played football together at Cleveland’s Glenville High School and Ohio State.
