The Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner will have to report to a probation officer monthly and avoid trouble for the next three months as he has been placed in a first-time offenders program with probation for a disorderly conduct case in Cleveland.
The NFL player was arrested in April on allegations of trying to force his way past police officers dealing with a crowd outside a nightclub. He was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. On Monday Municipal Court Judge Angela Stokes approved Whitner’s participation in the diversion program.
The prosecutor’s office didn’t object to Whitner’s participation. After reviewing the case, the probation department said the player in Bills jersey was qualified to participate in the program. Hopefully he will learn from such experience how to act in similar situation.

$400,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from home of Bills safety Whitner
After the Buffalo Bills won over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Bills safety Donte Whitner found a big loss at home: someone stole about $400,000 worth of jewelry from his home.
“It’s mind-boggling,” said the player’s spokeswoman Patrice Horton, who described Whitner as upset and hurt. “He’s safe, but he’s on high alert. He doesn’t know who did this.”
Police have been investigating the theft and Hamburg Detective Lt. Kevin Trask released few details because of the ongoing investigation. He would not say whether there was evidence of a forced entry or when the theft might have happened.
The theft caused more concern among the Bills players, maybe as well as a lot players in other teams' nfl jerseys, after Leodis McKelvin’s front lawn in the same suburb was vandalized by two teenagers last week. They have been worrying about their privacy and safety although there was no evidence showing that the theft and what happened at McKelvin’s home were unrelated.
