DMN Blog: Spencer Cleared

by Todd Archer

Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones said linebacker Anthony Spencer, who was arrested earlier this off-season for an incident in Indianapolis, has been cleared by the legal system.

Jones was not sure if Spencer would still be subject to penalty by the NFL for violating the personal conduct policy, and coach Wade Phillips said he's not sure if the team would impose any kind of penalty on Spencer.

The Cowboys fined tight end Martellus Bennett earlier this year for a video in which he made inappropriate remarks while wearing a Cowboys helmet. Bennett has appealed the fine, but Jones said nothing has been resolved.

Spencer was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct after refusing to leave a nightclub.
