Kellen Winslow says he was just changing his clothes, not masturbating

Last year was a rough one for New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow, but things aren’t getting any better in 2014. Not only was he busted with synthetic marijuana back in November, but it was revealed this morning that he was also apparently busted masturbating in his car at the same time. The incident is still under investigation, but Winslow has released a statement on the matter to try and clear the air.

According to the statement released by Winslow’s publicist, the tight end wasn’t masturbating in his car, rather he was merely changing clothes so that when he returned home, he didn’t smell like the marijuana.

"“Kellen pulled over to a parking lot to smoke what he thought at the time was a legal substance. He changed his clothes in his vehicle as not to smell like smoke when he returned home . [sic] There was absolutely nothing inappropriate that took place and if there was police would have investigated further and charged Kellen which they did not. This will be the only time we will comment on this unfounded and ridiculous claim.”"

You know the situation isn’t a favorable one when you’ve given up trying to fight a marijuana charge by using it as a reason why you weren’t spanking your monkey in a car parked in a public place.
