Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner spent most of today in a Cleveland jail cell after he was Tasered early this morning by an off duty police while trying to join a "near riot" that broke out in front of a club where he was partying, Cleveland police said.
Whitner was released from jail this afternoon, because there was no prosecutor available to consult on the charges, but he's expected to be sent a summons and will have to appear in court at a later date, a Cleveland police official said.
Whitner, 23, who is from Cleveland and was a star player for Ohio State, was inside the popular House of Blues night club in the heart of downtown Cleveland when a melee broke out at about 3 a.m. outside the establishment.
A birthday party was under way in the club for Miami Dolphin Ted Ginn Jr. but it's unclear whether Whitner was at the club for the celebration.
