Charges not dropped for defensive Donte

CLEVELAND, OH (WIVB) - A disorderly conduct and resisting arrest case against Buffalo Bill Donte Whitner is going forward in Ohio. Criminal charges were not dropped for Bills defensive back Donte Whitner.

He had no comment Tuesday morning as he walked out of a Cleveland court room. Monday he was convinced new evidence would clear his good name.

"Actually we have a videotape from the whole incident. It was sent to my lawyer last week, so hopefully we gonna get it all taken care of tomorrow," said Whitner.
   
His attorney, Larry Zukerman, said the defense requested more time to review evidence. Instead of dropping charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, an Ohio judge granted more time for Whitner to fight those charges.

Last month, Cleveland Police accused the 23 year-old of forcing his way past Cleveland Police during a fight outside the House of Blues.

As a result, officers shocked Whitner with a stun gun. He was arrested and spent the night in jail.

"It's not embarrassing. The only thing is one side of the story came out. I don't have a grudge against anyone, but people will try and pick up and take it and turn it without getting both sides," said Whitner.

Since this case is still open, he has no plans on addressing that other side. "I think I'll wait for it to be settled in court before I tell my side of the story, but I will tell my side once it is settled in a court of law," Whitner said.
