Philadelphia Eagles DB Nate Allen Thought He Was Getting Punked When He Got Arrested

Late Monday night a story started to make its way around the internet that Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Nate Allen had been arrested in Florida, but the reason was a bit of a mystery. Something like that is the kind of thing that never stays secret for long and sure enough the story is now out there.

As it turns out he was arrested and detained for engaging in a lewd act in the parking lot of a Red Lobster. No charges were filed and he was eventually released.

As the story goes, a 16-year girl called the police and said she saw him masturbating in his truck in the parking lot of a Red Lobster. He was released after a few hours of questioning after the girl changed her story several times.

When he was pulled over he initially thought it was because he didn't have his seat belt on or because he was talking on his cell phone. He was shocked when the arresting officer told him it was because someone accused him of making an inappropriate pass at them:

"I had no idea," he said. "I sat in a holding cell for 4 1/2 hours. I seriously thought I was being punked, at first."

Finally, he was questioned by a detective, Allen said. The detective told him that a woman or women -- Allen isn't sure which -- had accused him of "masturbating while making faces at them" from the cab of his custom-wheeled Ford F-250 pickup at a busy intersection on Cleveland Ave., a major Fort Myers roadway.

Allen was not too happy with being accused of something like this and has said that he plans on fighting to make sure that his name is cleared. An investigation is technically still open, but since the police have already caught the girl changing her story a few times it is highly unlikely that he will need to do anything except insure what teams he talks to that he did nothing inappropriate and never would.

"Forget football," said Allen, who is set to become a free agent next month. "Being associated with something this disgusting is repulsive. I have a 17-year-old sister, a niece ... Anybody would want to destroy someone" who would do such a thing, he said.
