FOP President: 'Very Unlikely' LeSean McCoy Will Not Be Charged
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It's been almost three weeks and still no decision on the alleged assault case involving LeSean McCoy.
According to a report from Buffalo Bills writer Vic Carucci on Thursday, McCoy will not be charged.
McCoy also published this cryptic tweet:
Fraternal Order of Police president John McNesby, who has quickly become a regular on 94WIP, joined Thursday's Josh Innes Show and disputed that claim.

"Crickets," McNesby said on Thursday, when asked what he is hearing about the case.
"No, nothing," he continued. "Nothing at all. I would find that highly unlikely that he is not charged. But again, we have not heard one way or another and I don't believe we will this week."
The District Attorney's office also reportedly disputed Carucci's report, that McCoy will not be charged.
"I would find it very unlikley that he is not charged," McNesby said.
"These [police officers] basically were brutalized in there," he continued. "The one fellow is going in there tomorrow to -- he still has a floating bone in his nose he has to have repaired. This was a stomping and at some point they're going to have to charge. For whatever reason, it's taking so long. We can sit here until next week, but we still don't know that answer."
Innes asked McNesby about a report which says one of the officers allegedly involved in the brawl, potentially having a history of bar-fighting.
"So what?" McNesby said. "If he was, I don't know if it's true or not, but who cares?"
Earlier in the week, reporter Ralph Cipriano laid out why there may be a case for McCoy. Cipriano explained eye witness accounts indicating the officers instigated the fight.
"I don't know about that," McNesby responded. "Whether he is the instigator or he just took part in the stomping, it doesn't really. He is still going to be charged and he would be charged with conspiracy. They'd be all charged together and then conspiracy because they acted together."
