Report: Bills' James Hardy Pulled Gun on Dad

A Fort Wayne, Indiana police report indicates that Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver James Hardy pulled a gun on his father, the Journal Gazette reports.

According to the paper, Hardy was listed as a suspect but his name was redacted from a police report that said his father, James W. Hardy II, was engaged in a fight with his son. A witness said she yelled at the younger Hardy to stop fighting, and he then pulled out a gun before leaving. Hardy has a permit to carry a gun.

Hardy's father told police he and his son were in an argument, and that the younger Hardy was always angry with him because he was in prison while his son was a boy, but that he was not injured and did not want to press charges against his son. He told the Journal Gazette:

"Me and my son's relationship is fine and anything (different) ... is not factual. Me and James' relationship is fine," he said.

In May of 2006 Hardy was arrested on battery charges in what authorities said was an attack on his girlfriend and their infant son. Four months later he was suspended by the team for two games for still-undisclosed personal reasons that were apparently unrelated to the arrest. After leaving Indiana with a year of eligibility left, Hardy was the Bills' second-round pick in last month's draft.
