    More than a week after the Philadelphia Police Department completed its investigation, the District Attorney’s office is “pushing back” against issuing an arrest warrant for LeSean McCoy for his alleged involvement in a bar brawl with off-duty police officers, law enforcement officials told CSNPhilly.com on Thursday.

    According to law enforcement officials, tension between the District Attorney’s office and PPD has risen over the last few days because of the delay in charging McCoy and three other men for their alleged role in a fight at Recess Lounge in Old City early on the morning of Feb. 7. Sources told CSNPhilly.com that the D.A.’s office is hesitant to issue warrants because it has questions about the conduct of the officers that evening, including that the officers did not call 9-1-1 during the incident and whether they were drinking to excess.

    A spokesman for the District Attorney refuted a report by The Buffalo News and said no press conference is scheduled in the immediate future. The spokesman also said there would be no announcement on warrants Thursday.

    On Wednesday, one of McCoy’s lawyers, Dennis Cogan, told the Buffalo News that his client is innocent.

    “I’m here to say and I’m telling you that McCoy did nothing wrong, nothing wrong,” Cogan said. “And he was sober. The questions will have to be asked about the conditions of other people.”
