ATLien_ Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 MIAMI - Najeh Davenport, a fourth-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers, was arrested Monday, accused of breaking into a university dormitory and defecating in a woman's closet, police said. Davenport, 23, surrendered to police Monday and was charged with a second-degree felony count of burglary and a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief, said Richard Master, a Miami Shores police spokesman. The former University of Miami player was wanted on a warrant issued in April. He was released Monday afternoon from a Miami-Dade County jail after posting a $6,500 bond. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, police said. "This whole thing is a misunderstanding. Najeh had nothing to do with the situation," said Richard Sharpstein, Davenport's attorney. According to police, Davenport crept into a dorm room at Barry University around 6 a.m. on April 1. A woman sleeping in the room, Mary McCarthy, told police she was startled by a strange sound and saw Davenport squatting in her closet. Davenport then allegedly defecated in a laundry basket, McCarthy told detectives. Campus security identified the football player from a picture in the University of Miami yearbook, police said. McCarthy told police she didn't know Davenport. Sharpstein said he was confident authorities would drop the charges against his client. The Packers released a statement Monday saying team officials have spoken to Davenport about the allegations. "It would be inappropriate for us to comment further on this matter, however, until the legal system has run its course," the statement read. An agent for Davenport didn't immediately return phone calls for comment Monday. The 6-2, 248-pound Davenport, a fullback, was selected by the Packers in the fourth round of the NFL Draft in Ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 There is no way that was Davenport. I had read that report someplace else and when I was thinking about it, it seemed pretty strange to me. It was dark in the room most likely and all she saw was a black man with dreads........then campus security picked out the first high profile guy that could possibly get her some money that fit the description. Its all about her trying to get paid. What a shame........and if it was him, hes not a Cane any longer, lol......hes a dirty Packer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
