LeSean McCoy won't be charged for Feb. 7 bar fight
— -- LeSean McCoy will not be charged for his alleged role in a Feb. 7 nightclub fight with off-duty Philadelphia police officers, a source told ESPN's John Barr, confirming multiple reports.
The Philadelphia District Attorney's office is expected to announce its decision not to pursue charges later Monday. A news conference has been scheduled for Monday at 2:30 p.m. ET at the district attorney's office.
Philly.com was first to report the news Monday.
Although McCoy reportedly won't be charged, the NFL will conduct its own investigation into the incident and still could discipline the Buffalo Bills' running back. The league said Monday that "the matter remains under review of the Personal Conduct Policy."
The Philadelphia police department confirmed Feb. 9, after turning the case over to the DA's office, that it did not interview McCoy or the three other suspects in a bar fight that led to two off-duty police officers being treated for injuries.
McCoy met with Philadelphia prosecutors two weeks later, on Feb. 23, at the office of Dennis Cogan, his attorney. Cogan told reporters outside the office building that McCoy met with assistant city prosecutors. He wouldn't let McCoy talk with reporters but said, "the one quote I have on the public record is, 'He did nothing wrong.'"
A police report filed by the off-duty officers after the incident said that McCoy and his party started a fight over a bottle of champagne purchased by the officers. But a source close to McCoy told The Buffalo News that one of the off-duty officers, Roland Butler, grabbed a bottle of champagne that was ordered for McCoy's table.
The DA's office has faced criticism over the perceived slow pace of its investigation.
