PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has paid $55,000 to a Philadelphia police officer who was hurt in a nightclub fight with McCoy and former University of Pittsburgh running back Tamarcus Porter more than three years ago. But the cop is still waiting for a payment from Porter.
A judge ordered McCoy and Porter to each pay $55,000 to officer Roland Butler following a two-day arbitration hearing stemming from a civil suit related to the fight. The fight happened in February of 2016 at Recess Lounge, an after-hours club in Old City .
Butler and fellow off-duty officer Darnell Jesse, who jumped in to help him after the fight started, were both out of work for several months afterward.
Butler suffered a long list of injuries, including a broken nose, broken ribs, a broken thumb and several cuts and bruises. Jesse suffered a broken orbital bone after being punched in the face, but he did not recieve any money in the civil suit because they could not prove who punched him.
There were no criminal charges filed in the fight, because it wasn't possible to determine who started it.
