Jazz players not suspects in alleged assault, Portland police say

   Police in Portland, Ore., said they have no reason to identify players for
the Utah Jazz as suspects in an alleged sexual assault that occurred at a
hotel in which the team was staying.

   Investigators questioned several Jazz players on Sunday, describing them
as "fully cooperative."

   "We have no reason to identify them as a suspect of a crime," Portland
Police Bureau Sgt. Brian Schmautz told the Deseret Morning News on Wednesday.

   Officers were called to the RiverPlace Hotel on Sunday about a woman in
distress. The posh hotel on the banks of the Willamette River is the same
place where players for the Utah Jazz were staying before playing the
Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.

   Police said the woman is not cooperating with investigators.

   "We have a person who appears to have gone through some type of problem
but doesn't want to cooperate and tell us what it was," Schmautz said. "What
we do in these situations is talk to everyone we can and gather any evidence
that we can."

   Those questioned included several players for the Jazz.

   When asked for comment by the Deseret Morning News on Tuesday night,
Jazz players, coach Jerry Sloan, team vice president Kevin O'Connor and
staffers would not comment.

    Portland police have not closed the case. Investigators would not
characterize the level of involvement the Jazz players had in the incident,
either as witnesses or in any other way, but emphasized they were not
considered suspects.

   "We just don't want anyone to think we're suggesting that anyone from
your basketball team from down there is stonewalling us," Schmautz said.
"Because that's just not true."
