Report: Witness Claims Jets' Winslow Was Masturbating In Car
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It just keeps getting worse for Kellen Winslow Jr.
The Jets tight end was allegedly found in possession of synthetic marijuana by East Hanover, N.J. police back on Nov. 19. And now there are more reported details about his run-in with the law.
A witness says she believes she saw Winslow, with his window open, masturbating in his car outside of a Target store, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.
"As she exited her vehicle, she commented to the male regarding how cold it was," the police report said, according to the Star-Ledger. "As she stood near the open driver side window of the Escalade, she observed the males (sic) erect penis. She stated that she believed he was masturbating. (The woman) provided a written statement regarding her account."
Winslow was charged on Dec. 30 for possession of a controlled dangerous substance. He pleaded not guilty last week.
"We are aware of situation. This a pending legal matter and we will have no further comment," the Jets said in a statement on Jan. 9.
The 30-year-old wasn't hit with any lewdness charges, the Star-Ledger reported.
The police report stated Winslow was clothed but "slouched in his seat and moving around" and had "two open containers of Vaseline on his center console" when officers got to the scene, according to the newspaper. Winslow told police he was trying to find a Boston Market restaurant, the Star-Ledger reported.
Winslow agreed to a search of his vehicle after an officer spotted containers of synthetic marijuana labeled "Mr. Happy" and "Funky Monkey," according to the Star-Ledger.
Winslow's representatives insisted that "nothing inappropriate" took place in a statement released Friday.
"Kellen pulled over to a parking lot to smoke what he thought at the time was a legal substance," Denise White of EAG Sports Management said via Twitter. "He changed his clothes in his vehicle as to not smell like smoke when he returned home. There was absolutely nothing inappropriate that took place and if there was police would have investigated further and charged Kellen which they did not. This will be the only time we will comment on this unfounded and ridiculous claim."
Winslow, who finished with 31 receptions for 388 yards and two touchdowns this season, was suspended four games earlier in the season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. He later said he thought his positive test might be attributed to allergy medication.
Winslow, a nine-year veteran with 469 career receptions, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
