Dolphins coach Philbin: Incognito had been investigated by club for incident at golf tournament
Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin acknowledged Saturday that embattled lineman Richie Incognito was investigated by the team in conjunction with an incident involving a female volunteer at a Dolphins charity golf tournament in May 2012.
"We were made aware of the incident and we took immediate action," Philbin said. "That's all I'm going to say . . . Any club action we would take against any player would be kept private."
No charges were filed against Incognito after the incident in Aventura, Fla., espn.com reported, but a police report said the volunteer complained that Incognito "used his golf club to touch her by rubbing it up against her . . . then up her stomach then to her chest. He then used the club to knock a pair of sunglasses off the top of her head.''
