Two Cleveland Browns defensive players were robbed at gunpoint when leaving a nightclub Monday night, according to police.
Police redacted the players’ names from their report. The AP reported that cornerback Greg Newsome II and defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey were the ones involved.
The players were leaving the nightclub around 3:30 a.m. on Monday before six masked suspects jumped out of a car, robbed the players of their jewelry and fled the scene in a truck that belonged to one of the players, according to police.
Neither player was injured, police said.
