Whitlock, 25, told WCBS-TV that he and his wife and their two young children were out for a few hours when the most recent burglary took place. Whitlock said the intruders gained access through a small window of their Bergen County residence.
This scary criminal act is hard to put into words, but Whitlock spoke candidly with the media about it:
“It just re-establishes that no matter where you are, no matter who you are, this can happen to you,” said Whitlock, who is serving a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.
The report goes on to note this isn’t the first incident at Whitlock’s house and police will continue to look into the matter.
Whitlock, a second-year player, is on injured reserve with a foot ailment.
