Frank Litski of the New York Times reports that Allen Iverson will turn himself in to Philadelphia Police Officials today to face charges that he forced his way into his cousin?s apartment with a gun in search of his wife.

Because his lawyer Richard A. Sprague, has been on vacation in Europe, Iverson was allowed to wait until today to surrender to police. Neither Sprague?s office nor the Philadelphia Police would say where or when the arrest would take place.

The latest bit of evidence, stains found in Iverson?s SUV, have been determined to be something other than blood. The Associated Press reported yesterday that blood and broken glass had been found in the vehicle, which is driven by Iverson?s wife, Tawanna. Later in the day, the AP corrected the report, stating that a police official said the stain was not blood, and was probably caused by one of Iverson?s children.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson knows that his office will take criticism no matter which way the investigation goes, "No matter what direction we go to, we are going to be criticized. The law indicates, based on our witnesses, he committed a crime.? Johnson said. ?People are saying, well, `He was only looking for his wife.' You have read about people in the paper who go look for wives and kill them. To go looking for their wife with a weapon, that violates the law."

Johnson said the news media had blown the case out of proportion. "I understand that," he said. "I can't blame the news. I can't blame the police department or blame the complainants. I put blame on Allen Iverson. If he did not do what he is alleged to have done, none of us would be involved in this."
