DECATUR, Ala. -- An Alabama judge has denied a motion from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain to delay his trial because of training camp.
Decatur Municipal Court Clerk Jessica Haggard said Tuesday that Judge Bill Cook Jr. declined to push back the trial set for Friday on charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. McClain's local attorney, Carl Cole, had filed a motion to reschedule because the Cowboys start camp Thursday in Oxnard, California.
Dallas acquired the rights to McClain from Baltimore on July 1. He was taken eighth overall by Oakland out of Alabama in 2010 but had retired and hasn't played since 2012.
Haggard said the case has been postponed three times since McClain's arrest in April 2013.
It was his third arrest in Decatur since 2011.
McClain has played in 41 games over three seasons.
