Report: Iverson at scene of investigation Posted: Monday July 08, 2002 12:07 PMA passerby has placed NBA star Allen Iverson near the scene of an incident at a Philadelphia apartment that is under police investigation, according to a report in the Philadelphia Daily News. Duran Topping told the newspaper that he and a friend passed Iverson as the Philadelphia 76ers guard was leaving the courtyard of the Cobbs Creek Court Apartments at about 3 a.m. Wednesday. Topping said he exchanged greetings with Iverson, who then got into the passenger side of a Mercedes 600 coupe and left with another man. Police are looking into a complaint that Iverson and an unidentified man engaged in "assaultive behavior" toward two men in the apartment complex, Philadelphia police Capt. Stephen Glenn told The Associated Press on Saturday. In another Daily News report from Saturday, unidentified sources said the alleged victims claimed Iverson, armed with a gun, and another man came into the apartment looking for Iverson's wife and cousin. Glenn said the men who filed the complaint did not allege that they were physically assaulted. Police have said that they will not make a decision about possible charges for several days. Team officials for the Sixers have declined to comment, and Larry Woodward, Iverson's attorney, told the Daily News that he would not comment while the police were still investigating. Iverson led the NBA in scoring in the regular season with 31.4 points a game. The 27-year-old guard was the league’s MVP in 2001, leading Philadelphia to the NBA Finals for the first time in 18 years. He spent four months in a Virginia prison after a 1993 bowling-alley brawl before being granted clemency by then-Gov. Douglas Wilder. The conviction was overturned by the Virginia Court of Appeals in 1995. In 1997, Iverson pleaded no contest to gun charges in Richmond, Va., and was placed on probation.
