The Gainesville Police Department has responded to questions on how it handled a battery accusation against former Florida Gators defensive lineman and NFL draft prospect Caleb Brantley. An attorney for the complainant alleged Sunday evening that the police department falsified a report.

Here's GPD's full response, which public information officer Ben Tobias sent Monday morning:

On 4/13/17, GPD investigated an incident involving Caleb Brantley and released a report detailing information known to officers at the time. GPD detectives began to follow up on the investigation and discovered information not known to the original responding officers.
