Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer was issued a summons for an alleged road-rage incident in April, Englewood police said Tuesday.
Investigator John Hoehler said Plummer was issued the misdemeanor summons Friday, after being contacted at his home in Cherry Hills Village.
The summons stems from a minor crash on April 20 in this suburb south of Denver.
A message left for Plummer through the Broncos was not immediately returned Tuesday night.
A man told authorities he was involved in a road-rage incident with the driver of a Honda. When the two cars stopped at a red light, the Honda's driver got out and kicked the front of the man's vehicle.
The driver then got back into his vehicle, put it in reverse and hit the front of the man's car, Hoehler said. A witness copied the license plate number of the gray Honda, which was listed to Plummer.
When contacted by police, Plummer said he was involved in a rear-end crash, not road rage.
"He went out and looked and didn't see any damage so he didn't report it," Hoehler said.
After he left the scene he told investigators he changed his mind and called 911 to report the accident and said he was told it would be taken care of.
Hoehler said there was a delay in issuing the summons because the officer in charge of the case was busy and didn't get a chance to pursue the case until recently.
No specific court date for Plummer has been given.
