Jones won't be charged as police close investigation

Police in suburban Westlake conducted several interviews.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cavaliers guard Damon Jones will not be charged following the investigation of an Arizona woman's claim that he committed a sexual offense against her, police said.
"Barring any new information, our investigation is closed with no charges," Westlake police Capt. Guy Turner said Wednesday.
The 23-year-old woman, who had visited Cleveland, filed a complaint against Jones when she returned to Chandler, Ariz., alleging an offense was committed the night of March 3.
All test results negative
The Arizona Department of Public Safety analyzed evidence and results were negative for the presence of male DNA. The woman was unable to describe any sex act, where it may have taken place or who was involved, police said.
"Numerous interviews with witnesses, including a professional athlete, consistently have not revealed an opportunity for a sex offense to have occurred," Turner said in a news release.
Police would not identify the person who filed the complaint or say if Jones was the athlete accused.
Jones, though, confirmed last month that he was interviewed by police. He called the accusations false and said he would be vindicated when the investigation was over.
"Damon fully cooperated and the facts came out, which were Damon did absolutely nothing wrong," said Jones' attorney, Patrick D'Angelo. "He appreciates the hard work of the Westlake police department."
Jones, 29, of Westlake, is in his first season with Cleveland after signing a four-year, $16 million contract this summer. He is averaging 6.9 points for the playoff-bound Cavaliers. Jones has played for 10 teams since joining the NBA in 1998-99.
