CLEVELAND -- Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner has pleaded not guilty to charges he forced his way past police during an altercation at a Cleveland nightclub.
The former Ohio State player was charged April 13 with aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Whitner made a brief appearance Tuesday in Cleveland Municipal Court.
A preliminary hearing will be set on the charges. Whitner left the courtroom without commenting.
Police say they used a stun gun on the 23-year-old and handcuffed him when he tried to force his way past officers trying to control a crowd outside the House of Blues on April 11. They say it was unclear why he was trying to leave the club and head for the melee outside.
Whitner has apologized for the incident.
