Kansas City Chiefs players tangle with the law

3 of 5 face charges after Minneapolis exhibition game

BY JOHN BREWER

Pioneer Press


Watch out when Kansas City Chiefs football players get a day off from their grueling preseason workouts.

In a rumpus that could be billed as an episode of "Chiefs Gone Wild," five Kansas City players got into legal scrapes of various kinds in the east metro and western Wisconsin.

Three incidents involving Chiefs players happened between 1 and 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a little more than 24 hours after the team lost an exhibition game to the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome.

Two players were arrested after struggling with police in a swank downtown Minneapolis hotel. Two more were escorted out of a popular club in Stillwater when one caused a disturbance. Another player was eventually charged with a felony after allegedly fracturing a bouncer's nose in a downtown River Falls tavern.

A Chiefs spokesman downplayed the importance of five players showing up on police blotters.

"I'm a little surprised by the interest in the press up here," said team representative Bob Moore. "I guess Randy Moss leaves town and things go a little slow."

After a 27-16 loss to the Vikings, Chiefs players were released from their University of Wisconsin-River Falls training camp until Sunday morning. The freedom may have been too much.

In the most serious incident, kicker Lawrence J. Tynes was charged with substantial battery, a felony, in Pierce County Circuit Court on Wednesday morning for his role in a fight at Boomer's Bar in River Falls.

Tynes was described in the police report as "extremely agitated" when officers arrived on the scene.

He told officers that he was trying to leave the bar and was attacked by several people "for no reason whatsoever."

A digital camera in the bar might tell a different story.

According to the report, the surveillance video shows Tynes exchanging words with bar patron Bradley Roy. Tynes then throws a drink in Roy's face and starts "attacking him." Bouncer Brian J. Roquette is later seen restraining Tynes.

The 6-foot-1, 202-pound Tynes elbows Roquette and spins away. Bar owner Ted Roughton ends up holding onto Tynes and tells police he suggested to Tynes that he leave peacefully.

In the video, Roughton loses his grip and Tynes allegedly "is observed jumping up and striking Mr. Roquette in the face."

Tynes was released to team security after the incident. When police found out Monday that Roquette's nose was fractured, the case was forwarded to the Pierce County district attorney's office. A criminal complaint was filed Tuesday.

"It's a case where my client got thrown out of the bar by six bouncer bullies and attempted to defend himself. That's all," said Earl Gray, Tynes' St. Paul attorney.

Tynes was released on a $15,000 bond after his court appearance.

About the same time Sunday night, police were flagged down outside of the Freight House Restaurant and Bar in Stillwater.

A manager needed help in getting Todd Collins, a Chiefs backup quarterback, and Trent Green, the starting quarterback, out of the bar.

"Apparently they were causing a problem inside," said Stillwater police Sgt. Jeff Magler. "When they (Freight House security) attempted to remove Collins, he resisted."

A small struggle ensued until officers intervened and the players were sent on their way. There were no arrests in the incident.

In Minneapolis, Saousoalii Siavii Jr. and Gregory Wesley were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct in the Graves 601 Hotel downtown. Siavii allegedly threw objects and yelled obscenities in the hotel lobby. When police attempted to arrest him, Wesley allegedly blocked the exit and charged the officers.

Siavii, a defensive tackle, and Wesley, a safety, were taken to the Hennepin County jail and released later Sunday.

Siavii appeared in Hennepin County District Court for arraignment Wednesday morning and pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges of fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct; his next court date is an Oct. 6 pretrial hearing.

Wesley will be arraigned Friday morning. He faces a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.

After his initial appearance Wednesday, Tynes was scheduled to be back in Pierce County Circuit Court on Oct. 11 for a preliminary hearing.

All the players but Siavii were back on the field practicing Wednesday, Moore said. The defensive tackle was sidelined with a sore knee from Friday's game, he said.

"I would not characterize these people as troublemakers," said Moore, the Chiefs spokesman, adding that the team is going to let the legal system run its course. "Celebrities and public figures are recognized much more easily today than they used to be. They have to be much more careful."

[Taco John]

Boy, they lose a preseason game, and this team practically falls apart at the seams... Imagine what will happen when they start losing meaningful games... ROFL!

[Kaylore]

What is going on over there? That's three incidents in a week! :saywhat:

[Rohirrim]

Christmas is early this year. Ha!

[Garcia Bronco]

I think what you got here is a situation where the cops can't actually charge them for playing in red and yellow. So they come up with other reasons to arrest these scumbags.


LOL

[Taco John]

Yeah, it's all cop bias! ROFL!

[Paladin]

Well, when the window of opportunity closes, all heck breaks out. You don't think last years' meltdown doesn't play on their little collective minds? The Chievies are on the downhill slide, now. Some teams do not recover very quickly. (Buffalo, T Bay, Chokeland, and others). Some seem to maintain their competitiveness year in and year out, and are usually envied by nutty trolls.

What ever is bad for the Chievies and their fans, I love.

[Garcia Bronco]

I can hear it now...touchdown "In-the_Can-ass-City-criminals!"

[bendog]

well, they're hostile players, in hostile country, in hostile bars ......

hater posted on SSJ's board that Toad Collins decked somebody. I posted I was surprised Toad's punch didn't fall short.

[REB]

LOL funny stuff. OF1 want need to drop a bomb on narrowhead stadium this season. The team will implode all by themselves. :)

REB

1-2-3-:Broncos:!!!!!!!

[Garcia Bronco]

Dude...the west has some bad ass kickers...you got Jano bribing cops...Saurmon taking riods and calling out other kickers all while driving drunk...and you Tynes punching old ladies....LOL I'd rag on the SD kicker if I thought they has...but it seems lately when they kick....no points are scored. So I assume there really isn't anyone doing it.

[Old Dude]

They're just trying to recapture the glory days of Tamarick Vanover, Andre Rison and Victor Riley.

[Rohirrim]

You think this is something, just wait til the Jets come into Narrowhead and kick their asses. It'll make the Chernobyl meltdown look like a burned waffle.

[bendog]

Hasn't anybody taught these guys that you buy a half pt of beam, a twelve pack and some ice, sit in your room with the tv and drink to oblivion?

[Hotrod]

Its gonna be an awesome year Ha!

[Garcia Bronco]

Isn't this the part in the movie with the 'I will Survive" montage?

[Arkie]

Three unrelated incidents in a half hour's time. zowie!

[DBroncos4life]

Sorry coach we can't play against Minny this year because we have warrents for our arrest there. !Booya!

[Bronco LB 59]

Trent Green's "Golden Boy" image is a front. That's why I hate him because I know he's a phony.

[Moon§hiner]

All this anger by players...hmmm sounds to me like Gunther might be slipping steroids into their Red koolaid...drug tests all around!!..Hopefully Shanahan is making sure that all his boys are aware of this bad publicity too, so that they keep their noses clean.

[Taco John]

It's nice to know at the begining of the season that one of your fiercest rivals doesn't have the character to go the distance... Comforting...

[Garcia Bronco]

They're just trying to recapture the glory days of Tamarick Vanover, Andre Rison and Victor Riley.


WTF...that pisses me off....you totally forgot Bam Morris LOL :)

[bendog]

Damn I wish they'd tasered Savali. And videotaped it.

[sirhcyennek81]

Maybe it was reported...because they were acting like asses. Even randy moss didnt get into barfights, he just ran over metermaids. for shame, KC...

[Rohirrim]

Hmmm. Where's the Planet trolls?

[Florida_Bronco]

You think this is something, just wait til the Jets come into Narrowhead and kick their asses. It'll make the Chernobyl meltdown look like a burned waffle.

HAHAHA that's rep!!

This is the best thing I've ever heard, 1 game into the preseason and they're already melting down.

Where is Bob, Zach, Naptown and all the others now?? LOL

[Florida_Bronco]

Hmmm. Where's the Planet trolls?

Great minds must think alike...

[OrangeShadow]

Great minds must think alike...

so do yours rofl

[sirhcyennek81]

Guess Vermeil crying all the time doesnt really help. I wonder what would happen if they ever got a real coach in KC. Wow. 5 players in a week's time, geesh. What happens when they go on the road in the real season and lose?

[Rascal]

When they come and visit we need to make sure and put lots of alcohol in their room...couple of cheap whores (both sexes) couldn't hurt as well.

[sirhcyennek81]

Great...Green caught with male prostitute, film at 11...

[bendog]

Maybe Johnnie Morton will be cut by SF by then

[Kaylore]

Hmmm. Where's the Planet trolls?
Passing the hat around for bail money.

[KillerBronco#76]

hahahahahah all i can do is laugh at this i mean i can see one or two players getting in trouble at a bar but this many is rediculous and completley unrelated thats what makes it even better.

[fdf]

A Chiefs spokesman downplayed the importance of five players showing up on police blotters.

"I'm a little surprised by the interest in the press up here," said team representative Bob Moore. "I guess Randy Moss leaves town and things go a little slow."

Wow. With that attitude on the part of team management, it's no wonder they are having problems.

[Florida_Bronco]

Why would they have any reason to downplay 5 players being arrested for seperate incidents in the last week?

LOL

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Damn I wish they'd tasered Savali. And videotaped it.
Ugly thought. Would look like Roseanne Barr trying to fast dance.

[Hotrod]

Still not a peep from our resident trolls ;D

[DBroncos4life]

Still not a peep from our resident trolls ;D


Im sure they are thinking up something witty to say about House or maybe even Rod.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

OK...something is going on here with the police. Something pissed them off about the Chiefs, and they're going hog wild.

This is TOO MANY "incidents" in such a short period of time for this to be happening.

Looks to me like they tried to provoke the QBs into something but it never materialized.

WTF IS GOING IN RIVER FALLS?

Hey DB - How about inviting the Squaws to Butte for camp next year. Would be funny to see one of them throw a punch at a local in one of their bars.

[DBroncos4life]

Wow and here I was thinking that the press hated us and it can't get any worse then the Queefs go out and get busted one by one. I think the press hating on us is much better then Police hating on us.

Bob - One incident was in River Falls, One in Minneapolis, 40 miles away and one in Stillwater 25 miles from RF. Guess the entire states of Minnesota and Wisconsin are out to screw the squaws. jjjeeeeezz

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I'm serious. I think the Siavii/Wesley incident was legit.

But that pissed off the cops. And the little back-asswards podunk hicks in the town.

Now it's open season on the Chiefs. Provoke them and the cops will come runnin.'

Looks like Todd and Trent were smart enough not to escalate the situation.

I'm just glad Trent Green didn't flip anyone off, you know. :wiggle:

[bendog]

I heard the cops were gonna taser Vermiel, but he hid out in the dirty laundry hamper.

[DBroncos4life]

Hey DB - How about inviting the Squaws to Butte for camp next year. Would be funny to see one of them throw a punch at a local in one of their bars.


Ha. Someone told me about this bar in Montana where every day this guy walks in pulls out his gun and shoots the roof. I guess that kind of stuff is cool there??? I think the story is BS but I really don't want to go find out if its true or not.

[broncosteven]

They're just trying to recapture the glory days of Tamarick Vanover, Andre Rison and Victor Riley.

You forgot BAM Morris

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You guys are rich...what do these legal incidents have to do with the regular season? Yeah, I'm sure Trent Green will be focused on that minor bar incident in August next month when he's torching the Jets secondary.

[clarker]

I'm serious. I think the Siavii/Wesley incident was legit.

[Bronx33]

Dickie musta told the boys to go out and let some steam off after the loss and well the rest is in the newspapers......

[Bob's your Information Minister]

OK, now we see what's happening. Todd Collins got a little tipsy.

RIVER FALLS, Wis. - The fallout from a night off continues for the Chiefs.

Police in Stillwater, Minn., were flagged down to assist in a bar incident involving quarterbacks Todd Collins and Trent Green in the early-morning hours last Sunday. Collins, according to an incident report, climbed up on a speaker box at the Freight House Restaurant and Bar and refused to get down. When a security guard attempted to remove Collins, he allegedly struck him in the head.

Trent Green probably defused the situation...he did NOTHING wrong.

NO Sh!t!

He just hits them with a cheap shot when they aren't looking

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Trent is on the radio now, and is confirming what I thought.

He's talking about when your the starting QB of the Chiefs and the face of the organization you become a target for people. Also talking about how the bar was a bad situation.

Hell, they may have to order pizza and chinese for the rest of their stay there from the sounds of it.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

The story as it was told to Tim Grunhard on 610 is that it was 12:30 and the bar closed. Trent and Todd had just gotten a drink and was asked by the bouncer to leave. The bouncer put his hands on him and Todd got angry and told him to get his hands off of him. Bouncer goes and gets the manager. Players refuse to leave till they are done with their drink. Manager goes outside and flags down the cop. Cops arrive and bouncer tells them to leave scuffle ensues. Players see the cop and go voluntarily.

Sounds like the cops are out in full force just WAITING to NAIL any Chiefs player who BREATHES WRONG.

Good. They should be denied service. I cant figure out for the life of me why they would deal with them anyway. The River Falls police should be provoking them. I actually hope you are right on that theory, Bob.

As the Chiefs ended their morning workout, and Green faced reporters, president/general manager Carl Peterson said the Pro Bowl quarterback would answer only football-related questions. "I want it to be understood that this guy right here, Trent Green, was not a facilitator," Peterson said. "He was a negotiator, and because of his efforts, a situation which could've been pretty volatile was not. There were no charges filed, there were no arrests, the police were there and they were very pleased to have Trent there. The incident is over with. "I would hope that people in Kansas City, particularly, never question the integrity of this guy right here. What he's done on the field, and off the field, more importantly, and his family, I think, speak volumes about the integrity of Trent Green. In spite of what some media may want to suppose or write, they're wrong. And this incident is closed as far as we're concerned." Peterson apparently was referring to information in the police report, which alleges that Green had been becoming "overly friendly and grabby towards female wait staff." According to the report, the security guard told police he didn't want to press charges after he spoke with Green.

You know what I think? After the Siavii incident, the cops saw an opportunity to rake in a little bail cash from the rich football players.

Dick 4 Meal better get that camp on lockdown.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You Think Jake Plummer Could Defuse A Situation Like That? Hell No! Only Pro Bowl Quarterbacks Can Pull That Off!

Wonder if the Male wait staff complained also...

How many times was HOF SUPERBOWL MVP John Elway in the Police Blotter?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

More from Trent...

He said the "grabby" comment in the incident report is completely untrue. The incident report is 1 persons opinion and no one elses. It upsets him that people do things like this, that they would throw his name in there because it makes it a bigger story.

He was only there to help out a friend, He wasn't intoxicated, he drove Todd home. No one had a complaint to him the whole time he was there.

He says Todd is his friend and he would help him again. If he had walked the other way his name wouldn't have been in the report but that's not the kind of friend or teammate he is.

He talks about that this is a good football team, and that people shouldn't lose faith in them because of a couple of incidents.

These incidents that have happened over the weekend make people realize they need to know who they are. There are people out there good and bad trying to get some attention. The incidents have brought the team closer together, they've had some meetings about these things. They realize they need to have each others backs and support each other.

Now he's talking about how this has been the best week of practice the team has had. Alot of the injured players are coming back to play this week.

He wants people to Kansas City to know this is an isolated incident.That with his track record and the people who know him that he isn't like this. He's embarassed that his happened and that his family has to go through this. But that happens when your in the public eye.

And that is the end of the interview.

[SoCalBronco]

Bob, why do you think pulling out a quote from Carl Peterson is going to somehow win us over on your point?

If anything, we are more likely to believe Trent had some moral blame because of those statements.

[DBroncos4life]

Well I doubt Dick ever brings up togetherness after a loss ever again. :alky:

[bendog]

Toad Collins was hanging/sitting on a speaker up near the ceiling? Damn, I'd have done a speaker check!

[footstepsfrom#27]

Just a thought...has Bam Morris been spoted hanging around Chiefs camp?

Well...look on the bright side, Chef fans. This is the most press coverage Todd Collins has ever received... :laugh:

That would be nice if the Chefs achieved the same level of "success" as the Royals. They've currently lost 18 in a row... Ha!

From a poster on Chiefs Planet ....

"The story as it was told to Grunny on 610 is that it was 12:30 and the bar closed. Trent and Todd had just gotten a drink and was asked by the bouncer to leave.

That doesn't sound like a "small town police" conspiracy, it sounds like a couple of stubborn prima donnas with too much to drink. The "small town authorities" helped keep them out of more trouble - IMO.

TRAINING CAMP


CARL PETERSON: “Specific to an incident involving a couple of our quarterbacks Saturday night in Stillwater, Minnesota, I want it to be understood that this guy right here, Trent Green, was not a facilitator he was a negotiator. Because of his efforts a situation which could have been pretty volatile was not.

“There were no charges filed, there were no arrests; the police were there. They were very pleased to have Trent there and the incident is over with.

“I would hope that people in Kansas City in particular never question the integrity of this guy right here, Trent Green, and what he’s done on the field and off the field. Along with his family it speaks volumes about the integrity of Trent Green.

“This incident is closed as far as we’re concerned.

“Specific to the other incidents, right now they’re in the hands of the legal people. I think you know it’s our long-term policy with the Kansas City Chiefs that if they’re legal issues we are not going to make a comment until due process takes its course. At that time, we will.

“But once again, specific to this quarterback (Trent Green), I’m glad he was where he was to negotiate and help a situation that we’re disappointed with but is over with. We’ve looked into it and we’re moving on from it.”

[Hotrod]

“There were no charges filed, there were no arrests; the police were there. They were very pleased to have Trent there and the incident is over with.


Im sure the police were tickled that TrINT was there after closing refusing to leave

Mostly the same, but read the BOLD print.


Chiefs QBs involved in bar incident

By ELIZABETH MERRILL
The Kansas City Star
RIVER FALLS, Wis. - The fallout from a night off continues for the Chiefs. Police in Stillwater, Minn., were flagged down to assist in a bar incident involving quarterbacks Todd Collins and Trent Green in the early-morning hours last Sunday. Collins, according to an incident report, climbed up on a speaker box at the Freight House Restaurant and Bar and refused to get down. When a security guard attempted to remove Collins, he allegedly struck him in the head. No charges have been filed in the incident.

Three other Chiefs players were also involved in brushes with the law in the early hours Sunday. Their incidents, on a rare night off from training camp, occurred within one hour in three different parts of the area. Kicker Lawrence Tynes was charged Wednesday on one felony count of substantial battery in connection with an altercation at Boomer's, a River Falls nightclub. About the same time Tynes was charged, defensive tackle Junior Siavii's lawyer was entering not-guilty pleas in a Minneapolis courtroom on charges of disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault. Siavii and safety Greg Wesley were arrested Sunday morning for an incident at a Minneapolis hotel. Wesley was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

As the Chiefs ended their morning workout, and Green faced reporters, president/general manager Carl Peterson said the Pro Bowl quarterback would answer only football-related questions. "I want it to be understood that this guy right here, Trent Green, was not a facilitator," Peterson said. "He was a negotiator, and because of his efforts, a situation which could've been pretty volatile was not. There were no charges filed, there were no arrests, the police were there and they were very pleased to have Trent there. The incident is over with. "I would hope that people in Kansas City, particularly, never question the integrity of this guy right here.

In spite of what some media may want to suppose or write, they're wrong. And this incident is closed as far as we're concerned." Peterson apparently was referring to information in the police report, which alleges that Green had been becoming "overly friendly and grabby towards female wait staff." According to the report, the security guard told police he didn't want to press charges after he spoke with Green.

The story as it was told to Tim Grunhard on 610 is that it was 12:30 and the bar closed. Trent and Todd had just gotten a drink and was asked by the bouncer to leave. The bouncer put his hands on him and Todd got angry and told him to get his hands off of him. Bouncer goes and gets the manager. Players refuse to leave till they are done with their drink. Manager goes outside and flags down the cop. Cops arrive and bouncer tells them to leave scuffle ensues. Players see the cop and go voluntarily.

Sounds like the cops are out in full force just WAITING to NAIL any Chiefs player who BREATHES WRONG.


uh no, sounds like a couple of guys who think they are above the law and above being told to leave.

“But once again, specific to this quarterback (Trent Green), I’m glad he was where he was to negotiate and help a situation that we’re disappointed with but is over with. We’ve looked into it and we’re moving on from it.”

What do you bet negotiations included "Do you know who I am?". Can't imagine this small town doesn't recognize the revenue being generated by having these clown's camp there. Fairly amazing the story got out at all.

Dude...the west has some bad ass kickers...you got Jano bribing cops...Saurmon taking riods and calling out other kickers all while driving drunk...and you Tynes punching old ladies....LOL I'd rag on the SD kicker if I thought they has...but it seems lately when they kick....no points are scored. So I assume there really isn't anyone doing it.

Don't forget Cole Ford! I know he isn't kicking anymore, but he deserves mention - if only because of the creative nature of his crime.

A Chiefs spokesman downplayed the importance of five players showing up on police blotters.

"I'm a little surprised by the interest in the press up here," said team representative Bob Moore. "I guess Randy Moss leaves town and things go a little slow."



What a stupid comment. "Gee, I can't believe you all get so worked up over a few arrests. What other NFL city even pays attention to their players getting arrested?"

Um, okay.

And then for a Kansas City "spokesman" to speak of Minneapolis as being backwoodsish is, well, sort of ironic.
