Attorney: Pa. officers with Roethlisberger at club
PITTSBURGH (AP) -An attorney says two off-duty Pennsylvania law enforcement officers were with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at the Georgia nightclub where a woman accused him of sexual assault, but they didn't see anything inappropriate.
Pennsylvania attorney Michael Santicola said Wednesday night that Anthony Barravecchio, an officer on a suburban Pittsburgh police force, and Pennsylvania Trooper Ed Joyner were with Roetchlisberger celebrating his birthday.
Santicola represents Barravecchio but said Joyner is also a longtime friend. Santicola says neither men saw any criminal activity.
Police are investigating the 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early Friday. Roethlisberger has not been charged.
An attorney for the two-time Super Bowl winner has said Roethlisberger is innocent.
