“The underlying incident was a minor freeway fender bender, and he provided his information at the scene,” wrote Denise White<\/a>. “These are unfounded allegations only, and Alshon has not been convicted of any offense. He will address this matter through the legal process, and he remains confident that the facts will demonstrate this was a misunderstanding and nothing more.”<\/p>\n
