Raiders LT Donald Penn under investigation in domestic dispute
OAKLAND, Calif. — Raiders left tackle Donald Penn was allegedly involved Sunday in a domestic dispute to which Los Angeles police officers responded, but no arrest was made and no charges are considered imminent at this time, a detective said Monday morning.
Police responded to Penn’s residence around 9 p.m., Los Angeles police media relations detective Meghan Aguilar said. Penn was not present when officers arrived.
Aguilar could not confirm the identity of the alleged victim. But according to TMZ, a statement from Penn’s wife Dominique was collected on scene. She reportedly told officers that Penn grabbed her wrist and poured a drink on her head after an initial slap on her butt.
On Monday, Denise White, who represents Donald for EAG Sports Management, released a joint statement on Donald and Dominique Penn’s behalf.
“There was a verbal disagreement,” White said via text message. “There was NO physical altercation. The two are in the middle of a divorce, and it is a hard time for both parties.”
Penn, 35, is a three-time Pro Bowler who has spent the past four seasons with the Raiders.
