Cops Talk To Dennehy'sTeammate

Police in Waco, Texas, said they could not reveal what a former roommate of missing Baylor University basketball player Patrick Dennehy told authorities in Maryland.

Waco police Sgt. Ryan Holt said Carlton Dotson, Dennehy's former teammate, went to the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office near his hometown and said he wanted to discuss Dennehy's disappearance. Authorities there would not comment on Dotson's statement.

"It is not going to change the course of the investigation at this time, Holt said Friday.

Holt said Dotson remains a "person of interest" in the case and said a Waco detective was going to Maryland in the next 24 hours, though he was not sure if the investigator would interview Dotson.

Police are also investigating whether a 9mm handgun found at a Waco apartment complex is related to Dennehy's disappearance. He has been missing since mid-June.

Holt said a maintenance worker at the apartment complex found the gun Thursday and turned it in to police. Holt said detectives are tracking the serial number to see if the gun was one of the weapons purchased by Dennehy.

Dennehy's Chevrolet Tahoe was found abandoned June 25 in a Virginia Beach, Va., parking lot. An unidentified informant told Delaware authorities that Dotson told a cousin that he shot Dennehy as the two argued while shooting guns in the Waco area, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Grady Irvin Jr., Dotson's attorney, released a statement Thursday saying his client "has not slept for several days" and went to authorities voluntarily.

"We are not aware of any wrongdoing which has taken place on his part in relation to the disappearance of Patrick Dennehy," Irvin said, adding, "It appears that Carlton has opted not to have counsel present."

Friends have said Dennehy and Dotson obtained guns because they said they had been threatened.
