Eagles Safety Nate Allen -- Cleared in Public Masturbation Case ... Saved by Red Lobster

Cleared in Public Masturbation Case


Saved by Red Lobster



EXCLUSIVE


0216_Nate-Allen_GETTYPhiladelphia Eagles player Nate Allen was wrongly accused of driving around while pleasuring himself, and FL prosecutors have cleared his name -- partly due to a well-timed Red Lobster dinner.


Allen was detained last week in Fort Myers after a 16-year-old girl called 911 to report seeing a man driving a black truck with the windows down and masturbating. An officer responded to the area, saw Allen in a black Ford pick-up, and arrested him.


But the State Attorney's Office announced today that further investigation revealed Allen's truck was NOT the one the girl reported seeing.


Also, Allen was having dinner at a Red Lobster at the exact time the girl called 911. Prosecutors confirmed this from the time stamp on his bill ... and a photo Allen took with an employee. Great time for some cheddar biscuits!


Prosecutors thanked Allen for his patience and for cooperating with investigators.
