DALLAS (AP) — The NFL player who was detained by a Dallas police officer in a hospital parking lot while his mother-in-law was dying inside says he accepts the officer's apology.
Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats also told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday that he hopes Officer Robert Powell was sincere in his apology issued publicly Friday over the March 18 incident.
Moats' wife, Tamishia, said on the news show that it would be comforting to hear the apology personally, but that she too would definitely accept it.
Powell was placed on paid leave pending an internal investigation. The officer pulled out his gun and threatened Moats with jail as the player pleaded to go inside. Moats' mother-in-law died before he got there.
