“The San Francisco 49ers organization is aware of the matter involving Bruce Miller,” the team said in a release. “We were disappointed to learn of these reports and will do our due diligence in collecting all relevant information.”
A spokesman for the police department said the results of the investigation have been forwarded to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office.
