After being accused of punching a Hilton Bentley hotel employee on July 21, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham turned himself in to Miami Beach Police on Monday, according to NBC Miami on Tuesday.
According to Dave Zangaro of CSN Philly, the Eagles issued the following statement on Tuesday: “We are aware of the recent incident involving [Bradham].” Nigel and the appropriate authorities have been in communication with us. We won’t be able to say further at this time due to the ongoing legal proceedings.”
Bradham stated, “I am confident my name will be cleared,” according to CSN Philadelphia’s Dave Zangaro.
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Bradham declined to provide specifics regarding the event.
In testimonies to authorities, as reported by NBC Miami, “a group of six people started arguing with the employee over the length of time it took to bring them an umbrella they had paid for.” A glass bottle was allegedly cracked on the back of the employee’s head when the argument turned physical.
The six individuals then departed the scene, but as proof, a phone that was left there and a receipt proving Bradham used his credit card to purchase the umbrella were turned in.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Howard Eskin of Fox 29, and McLane provided additional information:
