Northjersey.com reports tonight that “Totowa (N.J.) police responded to two domestic disturbance calls at Giants receiver Plaxico Burress’s home the past few months,” borough police confirmed.
The Web site for The Record of Hackensack says, “It could not be determined whether the incidents had anything to do with Burress’ suspension by the Giants today …”
The Web site reports that the incidents occured on June 2 and Aug. 19. It says restraining orders were issued but then overturned in state court.
Pat Hanlon, a spokesman for the Giants, told reporter Ed Beeson the team will “not comment on a player’s personal life.”
Burress was suspended today for two weeks after missing a film session Monday and failing to contact the team. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the absence was caused by a family emergency and that Burress would appeal the suspension, which would cost him almost $235,000 in salary and cause him to miss a game Oct. 5.
