New Orleans defensive linemen Cameron Jordan is being investigated for an incident at a nightclub in the warehouse district that happened this past weekend, according to CBS affiliate wwltv.com.
The incident reportedly happened at the Republic nightclub sometime either early Sunday morning or late Saturday night, according to a source from wwltv.com. The incident has been confirmed by the New Orleans Police Department, but only a few details were given.
The report was made by a man and his girlfriend, whom Jordan allegedly had a confrontation with after swatting her backside. Per the report following the alleged incident, Jordan allegedly accidentally sprayed champagne on the couple, which led to them filing the report. Investigators are still working to see if the incident qualifies as a misdemeanor sexual battery charge.
No charges or arrest warrants have been filed, but sources say that Jordan has been cooperative with the police in figuring out this incident, according to wwltv.com. The NFL has not said anything about the investigation to this point, and a spokeswoman for the NFL would not reveal if they were looking further into the incident.
Jordan is a big part of the Saints' defense, and the defensive end had seven and half sacks last season. The alleged incident is likely not going to have an impact on Jordan playing this weekend against the Cardinals. It will be interesting how the NFL handles this issue, but they are likely waiting for local police to handle it first.
