Honolulu police are investigating a complaint accusing Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison of assault at a Waikiki resort three days before the Pro Bowl.

Harrison was interviewed by police on Saturday, the eve of the National Football League all-star game at Aloha Stadium, in connection with two misdemeanor third-degree assault cases and a petty misdemean-or harassment case, police said. No one was arrested, and no one has been charged.

However, she said, her son told her Harrison was on a cell phone and told them to wait. He later went on the cell phone again and two men showed up, Williams said. She said her son told her one of the men punched a 15-year-old boy in the jaw. The youth was taken to the hospital, she said.

Williams said her son told her Harrison also shoved one of the boys and placed a "chokehold" on him.

Williams said she and the families had brought the boys here for a vacation and the Pro Bowl. She said they went to the game despite the incident and watched Harrison play.

"We booed him," she said. "I think he owes us a formal apology."

The "ultra classy, paragon of NFL virtue" Harrison beating on a 15 year old kid because he wanted an autograph? Well at least he doesn't dance in the end zone, we all know that's the only thing that determines class. Let's see if this develops.

1. hmmmm

Four teenagers asked Harrison for his autograph when suddenly two bodyguards show up and just punch one of them in the face for no reason? I think there may be a bit more to the story...

I hate to kick my own ancient thread but it seems necessary in light of it's being blown off earlier.

7. Where are all the "Offensive Interference" headlines?

Our papers have no imaginative headline writers at all. Not so much as "WR Harrison flagged for Pro Bowl conduct". Sheesh.

It's schadenfreude all the way around for me! I grew up in, you got it, Baltimore, and am thus a hard-core Colt-hater. To not only have something like this happen, but to have it happen out here... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Wait a minute...

Williams said her son told her Harrison also shoved one of the boys and placed a "chokehold" on him.

A "chokehold"? He must've learned that from Peyton Manning! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
