Raiders' Penn, wife deny physical altercation after domestic violence report
After Donald Penn was named as a suspect in a domestic violence incident involving his wife, the pair issued a joint statement denying there was any physical altercation.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ Sports police were called to the home of the Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Sunday night.
The report alleges Penn slapped his wife's backside, grabbed her by the wrist, and poured a drink over her head during an argument. He was apparently no longer at his home by the time police arrived.
Penn and his wife, Dominique, have since responded to that report, issuing a statement saying there was no physical altercation.
