Downing, USA TODAY Sports) CONNECT COMMENT EMAIL MORE PUT-IN-BAY - An investigator from the National Football League visited the Lake Erie tourist town of Put-in-Bay where Kareem Hunt, then Kansas City Chiefs running back, was allegedly involved in an incident in June, according to the Put-in-Bay Police Department. Put-in-Bay Police Deputy Chief Doug Miller said the alleged incident occurred in the early morning hours of June 3 at the Bay Lodging Resort on Put-in-Bay, where an officer arrived for a reported disturbance. Hunt allegedly punched another man during an argument, but the victim did not wish to pursue charges, according to Miller. No report on the incident was filed by police, nor was anyone arrested or charged. “The officer may have walked up on the incident and it was already over,” Miller said. “We deal with 20 to 30 of those types of incidents every night.” Put-in-Bay, a village on South Bass Island in Lake Erie, has a year-round population of 125, but draws more than 750,000 visitors every summer, according to Tourism Ohio. Miller said an investigator from the NFL visited the island a few days after the June disturbance. According to TMZ , NFL investigators made an effort to gather video evidence of the Put-in-Bay incident involving Hunt but it was not captured on surveillance cameras. Hunt, an Ohio native who played at the University of Toledo, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 30 after TMZ published a video earlier that day showing him shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February. The Chiefs said in a statement that Hunt was “not truthful” in his discussions with the organization regarding the February incident. Hunt was also placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, which does not allow him to play or practice for another team until the NFL completes its own investigation. Hunt went unclaimed on waivers as well, meaning the league's 31 other teams decided not to claim the rights to his rookie contract after he was released, making him an unrestricted free agent. In an interview with ESPN that aired Sunday morning, Hunt apologized, said he was embarrassed and disappointed in himself, and that he is taking actions to learn from it and better himself. jstinchcom@gannett.com
