Napa Police Reopen Case Into Alleged Assault by Raiders' Tom Cable

Napa, Calif., police said Friday they have reopened the criminal investigation into an alleged assault by Raiders head coach Tom Cable on defensive assistant Randy Hanson on Aug. 5 at the team's training camp facilities.

This comes days after FanHouse, National Football Post and Yahoo! Sports revealed that Cable attacked Hanson in what has been described as a blindsided assault during a coaches' meeting at the Raiders' camp headquarters at the Napa Valley Marriott.

According to multiple sources, Hanson sustained a fractured jaw and other serious facial injuries in the altercation and has sought hospital treatment as recently as Wednesday evening.

Napa police issued a news release Friday on their Web site, which acknowledges "new information has come to light which has resulted in the investigation to be re-opened," but does not name a victim or an attacker. The release is below:
