Browns rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman was included in a police report regarding an alleged felonious assault that took place New Year's Eve in Cleveland.

At this time, police do not consider Coleman as a suspect, and the wide receiver's attorney, Kevin Spellacy, denied Coleman's involvement in a statement to ESPN.com and other media outlets.

According to the report, a man named Adam Sapp was hospitalized with a ruptured eardrum and a concussion after an incident in the lobby of a condominium building where Coleman lives. A woman who was with Sapp told police the man got "beat up" after a verbal confrontation with four men coming off an elevator at the building around 2:50 a.
