Bills' McCoy pays $55K to officer hurt in bar fight

PHILADELPHIA -- Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy and his friend, former University of Pittsburgh running back Tamarcus Porter, have been ordered to pay $55,000 to a Philadelphia police officer, who was injured in a 2016 bar fight with the two football players.

McCoy, 31, has already paid his $55,000 award to the officer, according to William Davis, the Philadelphia attorney representing officer Roland Butler, but Porter has yet to pay his share, Davis said Tuesday in an interview with ESPN.

The financial award was the result of an agreement that came after two days of binding arbitration earlier this year and stems from a civil case that resulted from a fight inside the Recess Lounge, an after-hours nightclub in Philadelphia.
