Raiders safety Nate Allen was detained by police for several hours in Fort Myers, Florida in February after he was accused of lewd behavior in a vehicle and Allen, who was exonerated of the allegation, said afterward that he planned to sue the police department for the incident.

The Fort Myers Police Department has investigated what happened and, via the Southwest Florida News-Press, four officers have been disciplined for their actions after a 16-year-old girl said she saw Allen masturbating in his car. Since the case involved a 16-year-old, it should have been handled as a potential misdemeanor but it was instead pursued as a felony. Since it was a potential misdemeanor, Allen should have been released immediately.

As a result, the department found that four officers failed to adequately investigate the alleged crime and failed to properly interpret the statutes. Sgt. Jacqueline Garret was suspended for a week, detective Audenia Thomas was suspended for three days, officer Gloria Machado must undergo counseling and Rebecca Milhoan, who resigned as a police officer in May, received a written reprimand.

Fort Myers Police Chief Doug Baker extended “his deepest and most sincere apology” to Allen, who plans to address the department’s decision and his plans to sue at a Friday press conference.
