Michael Fuller, the attorney for the estranged wife of Andy Polo, said the Portland Timbers pressured his client not to press domestic violence charges against her husband.
Fuller released an audio recording that he says is of a Timbers representative attempting to convince Genessis Alarcon not to file the charges against Polo.
According to a report from the Washington County (Oregon) Sheriff's Department, on May 23, 2021, Polo was "issued a citation in lieu of arrest for harassment after grabbing onto [Alarcon's] wrist." The citation is classified as a B misdemeanor. The Timbers terminated Polo's contract on Feb.
