Report: Law enforcement official says he sent Ray Rice video to NFL security chief
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - A law enforcement official says he sent the video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to NFL headquarters to the attention of league security chief Jeffrey Miller in April.
Miller unequivocally denied that he had ever watched or received the video, and the NFL has said no league employee saw it until TMZ Sports released the video earlier this month.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he isn't authorized to talk about the case. He said he doesn't know if Miller ever saw the DVD. His only communication with the NFL was a voicemail from an unidentified woman from league offices confirming receipt of the package.
The official said he has no plans to talk to NFL investigators about the case.
Miller released this statement to Albert Breer of the NFL Network not long after the AP report came down:
I unequivocally deny that I received at any time a copy of the video and I had not watched it until it was made public on September 8.
