Hamburg police are investigating an incident reportedly involving Patrick Kane, the Chicago Blackhawks star, two sources with knowledge of the probe have told The Buffalo News.
Two sources said Hamburg police officials have forbidden their officers and detectives from publicly discussing the investigation.
“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a criminal investigation until such a time as a person is charged with a crime,” said Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett.
Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III used very similar language when asked about an investigation.
The Hamburg Sun, however, routinely reports police blotter items from the Hamburg Police Department.
No charges have been filed in connection with the investigation and it is not known whether police have questioned the 26-year-old hockey player.
The News went to Kane’s Hamburg home Wednesday morning to seek his comment but was denied access by a man at the house who did not identify himself.
Cambria represented Kane in a 2009 case involving an altercation with a Buffalo cabdriver.
