IRVING, Texas (AP) — Troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel threw a water bottle at a heckler in an incident that didn’t lead to any arrests or charges at the AT&T Byron Nelson golf tournament.Manziel had been turning away autograph requests from the fan for about two hours Saturday during the third round when an exchange escalated in the pool area of the Four Seasons Resort where the PGA Tour event is held, Irving police spokesman James McLellan said.The water bottled missed the 18-year-old male, and someone who was with Manziel pushed the fan, leading officers to intervene, McLellan said. The fan declined to press charges, and McLellan said no police report was filed.Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M, was recently released from a 10-week stay in rehab and is going through offseason workouts with the Browns. He’s expected back in Cleveland this week.McLellan said there was no indication Manziel had been drinking.In November, a Browns fan alleged that he was attacked by “Johnny Football and his entourage” at a downtown Cleveland hotel where Manziel was living at the time.
