Updated 9:45 a.m., Aug. 14: Bellevue Police have cleared Marshawn Lynch of any involvement in the alleged incident. Read more here.

The Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday dismissed assault and property-damage accusations against running back Marshawn Lynch, calling the claims “bogus.”

“While we maintain the utmost respect for the investigative process, after speaking with Marshawn, we are comfortable these accusations are bogus,” the Seahawks said in a team statement.

Lynch, 28, is being investigated by the Bellevue Police Department in connection to an alleged assault and property damage at a Bellevue apartment early Sunday morning. A female victim named Lynch as the suspect, but police had not been able to determine whether Lynch was actually involved.

No arrests have been made, though Bellevue PD issued a press release naming Lynch on Monday. There were no domestic violence or sexual assault allegations, police said.

“The Bellevue Police Department is in the process of gathering the facts of this alleged incident, including verifying whether or not Mr. Lynch was in fact involved,” the statement read in part.

Lynch has had a string of run-ins with the law enforcement since entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2007, the first of which came when his driver’s license was revoked in January 2008 following a hit-and-run incident in Buffalo.

Lynch was arrested in February 2009 in Culver City, California, after police found a semiautomatic handgun in a backpack in the trunk of Lynch’s car during a traffic stop. He pled guilty to concealed weapon charges and was sentenced to community service and probation. Following the incident, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the first three games of the 2009 season for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.

The Bills traded Lynch to Seattle four games into the 2010 season.

With the Seahawks, Lynch has become one of the most recognizable players in the NFL, rushing for over 4,600 yards and 41 touchdowns while helping the Seattle establish a physical, punishing style of play. “Beast Mode” was responsible for perhaps the most memorable moment in Seahawks playoff history to date with his 67-yard touchdown run against the New Orleans Saints in 2011, dubbed the “Beast Quake.”

But the off-the-field problems didn’t end for Lynch following the move to Seattle.

He was arrested again on suspicion of DUI in July 2012 after being observed driving erratically on a freeway in his hometown of Oakland, California. Lynch pled to guilty to a reckless driving charge in February 2014 to resolve the case and was placed on probation for two years, fined an undisclosed amount and required to attend classes on driving safety and alcohol consumption.

Lynch caused off-the-field headlines last season when it was revealed he’d skipped mandatory media sessions, incurring a $50,000 fine from the NFL that was later revoked. In the offseason, Lynch threatened to skip mandatory minicamp and missed the first week of training camp while holding out for a new contract two years after signing a four-year, $30 million extension with Seattle.

He ended his holdout on July 31 and reported back to the team after the Seahawks reworked his contract to guarantee some of his incentive money, resulting in an additional $1.5 million for Lynch this season.
