Police stop releasing names
DALLAS — Stung by criticism in its handling of a high-profile case involving two Dallas Cowboy football players, the Dallas police department says it will now wait until suspects are charged before identifying them.
Dallas police representative Ed Spencer announced yesterday that the decision was only an interim one, presenting a formal policy review
oné, perching a forth pole policy review.
Members of the news media learned of the new policy when they inquired about reports that two professional athletes were involved in unrelated assault cases last weekend in Prime Time 21, a club owned by Cowboys defensive back Deion
In one case, the wife of a Cowboys player said a player punched her in the face and threw her to the floor early Saturday morning. In the other, a 20-year-old woman said a Dallas Mavericks player pushed and slapped her early Sunday morning.
Sanders. No charges have been filed in either incident.
"We're concerned about two things," Spencer said. "One concern relates to releasing suspects' names before police have a chance to investigate the validity of the allegations. And the other has to do with the potential adverse impact the release of a suspect's name might have on the investigation itself."
Police were criticized after confirming that Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin and offensive lineman Erik Williams were being investigated in connection with a woman's complaint that Irvin held a gun to her head and videotaped Williams and another man sexually assaulting.
The players were exonerated about 10 days later.
Police Chief Ben Click defended the release of the players' names, noting that a local television reporter already knew the names and had broadcast some of the information before the news conference was held.
Click said the department had always released the names of suspects if they appeared on offense reports, such as in the rape allegation.

"The only talking we've done is in response to media interviews," he said two days after police identified Irvin and Williams as suspects. "Had we not done that, then the question becomes, 'Was the Dallas Police Department covering up?'
Nina Shahravan, 23, who initiated the complaint against the players, has since been charged with perjury and accused of fabricating the complaint.
