The Associated Press reports that the Buffalo Police Department is growing impatient with Bills running back Marshawn Lynch’s refusal to meet with investigators about a hit-and-run accident involving a vehicle he owns.

The AP even reports that Lynch “could face an obstruction of justice charge,” although those are the AP writer’s words and are not attributed to any law enforcement authorities.

What is attributed to a law-enforcement authority is that Department spokesman Mike DeGeorge expressed frustration that Lynch hasn’t spoken to police.

“Right now, the ball is in their court. The clock would be ticking,” DeGeorge said during a news conference. “Police have made it clear to Mr. Lynch’s representative that they would like some answers, expect some answers and if they don’t start getting some answers then they could take some other action.”

DeGeorge said evidence and witness statements indicate Lynch’s 2008 Porsche SUV sped off after hitting a pedestrian early Saturday at an intersection near Buffalo’s bar district. The victim was a 27-year-old woman from suburban Toronto who was released from a hospital with a bruised hip and a cut that required seven stitches.

DeGeorge would not say whether Lynch is a suspect, or whether police think he was behind the wheel, a passenger, or not in the vehicle at all. The SUV was impounded and remains in police custody.
