Police are investigating charges of assault causing bodily injury, unlawful restraint and assault by choking or impeding breath, according to the report. Irving has not been arrested or charged. The news of the investigation followed tweets from Irving’s account Monday morning alluding to domestic violence, accompanied by a post that claimed his account had been hacked. Later on Monday, however, a statement from Irving’s girlfriend was released saying that she lied to police about the allegations and that “David did not put his hands on me at any time.” The Cowboys declined comment while an NFL spokesman said that the league was looking into the matter.
