Mr. X

Denver police make a valiant attempt to protect Kenyon Martin's identity this week:

  • PRESS RELEASE
    For Immediate Release
    Date: February 9, 2006
    During the Nuggets game Wednesday February 8, 2006 a fan sitting in the stands continuously heckled one of the Nuggets players identified as K. Martin. At some point during the game, after continuous heckling on behalf of the fan, it was stated that Martin stood up turned around and had a verbal exchange with the person in the stands. As the team returned to the court, Martin then sat back on the bench and watched the game. Shortly after the verbal exchange with the fan in the stands two associates of the Nugget player took it upon themselves to approach the fan on behalf of K. Martin. Once again there was a verbal exchange between the three and the associates left the area but not the facility.

    Immediately after the game the fan decided to discuss the incident with Pepsi Center security. Security then summoned officers that were working the venue in an off duty capacity. While the incident was being discussed, K. Martin and the two associates of his approached the group and once again a short verbal exchange took place. K. Martin and the two associates then left the area. The fan (unidentified) then stated to officers that he did not feel that this incident would go any further and that he would just like an escort out to his vehicle. Officers walked outside with the fan and waited until he left the area. There was no citation issued and no arrest was made. Once again the only action the fan wanted at the time was an escort out to his vehicle which he did receive.
