The agent for New Orleans Saints outside linebacker Ronald Powell said an ESPN report that included details about his client's interactions with police in Gainesville, Fla., was flawed and unfair.
Agent Peter Schaffer said it was absurd to believe that police let Powell go after finding cocaine in his car -- a potential felony -- during an incident shortly after Powell was drafted 2014. In truth, Schaffer said, police hassled his client and were disappointed to find nothing to charge him with after profiling him during a traffic stop.
"As Ronald Powell's agent, I've had extensive conversations with him, and the ESPN report is a gross mischaracterization of facts and example of an absolute witch hunt," Schaffer told NOLA.
