Bills DB Whitner gets probation in disorderly conduct case

The Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner will have to report to a probation officer monthly and avoid trouble for the next three months as he has been placed in a first-time offenders program with probation for a disorderly conduct case in Cleveland.

The NFL player was arrested in April on allegations of trying to force his way past police officers dealing with a crowd outside a nightclub. He was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. On Monday Municipal Court Judge Angela Stokes approved Whitner’s participation in the diversion program.

The prosecutor’s office didn’t object to Whitner’s participation. After reviewing the case, the probation department said the player in Bills jersey was qualified to participate in the program. Hopefully he will learn from such experience how to act in similar situation.
