T.O. named witness in bar fight involving ex-cheerleader
Daily News staff and wire reports
It didn't take long for Terrell Owens to make Dallas headlines, non-football division.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Owens is among four people named in a civil court motion as witnesses to a bar fight at a nightclub last month in East Dallas in which a woman was attacked.
The newspaper said that, according to court records filed Friday in civil district court, Owens might have invited a woman suspected of attacking Christi Proctor on June 10 at the Candle Room, a members-only club.
The woman suspected of attacking Proctor is identified in the court motion as Tara Smith, the paper said. She was an Eagles cheerleader the last two seasons, but not this season, Eagles spokeswoman Bonnie Grant told the Daily News last night.
Otherwise, the Eagles declined to comment.
Stewart Matthews, an attorney for Proctor, said he filed a motion to take sworn statements from Owens, another club patron and the club's manager, because "we're getting the run-around every time we ask for information.''
Matthews said he doesn't believe Owens was involved in the attack, but was a witness to it.
"The only reason Mr. Owens is involved at all is because we understand he was there and he knew the woman involved,'' he said.
Owens has been unavailable to discuss the case, according to the newspaper.
According to Dallas police, Proctor said she and her attacker were both intoxicated when they got into an argument, which led to Proctor's being punched in the mouth and pushed down.
No criminal charges have been filed, and the civil court motion is not a lawsuit.
"We want to make sure we have accurate information and not file a lawsuit frivolously,'' Matthews told the Morning News. "Right now, we're not even certain who carried out the attack. We have our suspicions, and it's a pretty good suspicion... ''
