Team Site Phila. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin denied Friday that he assaulted a man in a San Francisco club and said he is willing to discuss the case with police. San Francisco police spokesman Jim Leach confirmed Irvin was named in a complaint filed Thursday by a man who said the All-Pro receiver punched him and held him captive in a club basement. The person said they were assaulted and sustained minor injuries.
Investigators are in the process of contacting witnesses.
In a brief news conference in Dallas, Irvin and his attorney, Royce West, denied that account. No, there was no exchange. Waller said the incident occurred June 1, but he waited until Thursday to report it because he wanted to discuss the case with his attorney. Waller said he was accompanied by two strippers, identified only as Angela and Joanne, when he met Irvin and another man at a supper club early on the morning of June 1, said the report written by officer Daniel Murphy. Waller quoted Irvin as saying to him while looking at Angela.
