Hamburg police are investigating an incident reportedly involving Patrick Kane, the Chicago Blackhawks star, two sources with knowledge of the probe have told The Buffalo News.
Two sources said Hamburg police officials have forbidden their officers and detectives from publicly discussing the investigation.
“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a criminal investigation until such a time as a person is charged with a crime,” said Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett.
Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III used very similar language when asked about an investigation.
“We neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of an investigation until such time as someone has been charged with a crime,” Sedita said.
Wickett denied The News access to the police blotter for the weekend but suggested The News file a Freedom of Information Law request.
The News presented him with two FOI requests, one seeking complaints or reports filed with the department for a specific period of time and the other seeking any complaints or reports involving Kane for that same period of time.
But it may be some time before The News can see whether a complaint was filed. The town has 20 days to accept or reject the request.
The Hamburg Sun, however, routinely reports police blotter items from the Hamburg Police Department.

At least the Blackhawks can now terminate Kane's contract?
