A former NFL linebacker says in a lawsuit that police and prosecutors in New Jersey knew a shooter had lied about getting a weapon from the player, but charged him anyway.
A gun charge against Khaseem Greene was dropped in July after an audio recording surfaced of the other man telling detectives he lied about Greene's involvement in a shooting outside a nightclub in Elizabeth in December 2016.
The Kansas City Chiefs released Greene the day charges against him were reported.
The other man's admission came the day he told detectives Greene was involved. But it wasn't included in a criminal complaint that alleged Greene was seen on camera handing him a gun.
The suit, filed Tuesday, names the Elizabeth Police Department Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , and the Union County Prosecutors Office. Messages seeking comment left with the agencies weren't immediately returned.
