Accused of trashing the apartment of his child’s mother, Falcons CB Chris Owens denies doing it and says his ex-girlfriend is only out for revenge and to ruin his name.

“He’s been a good dad,” Randall M. Kessler, Owens’ attorney, told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “He plans to keep being a good dad. He denies all of the claims.”

As the AJC points out, Owens – who has a 9-month-old child with his ex, Latia Terry – was named the Atlanta Falcons man of the year for his community work, and the scene described in the police report (holes in the drywall, a destroyed flat-screen TV, bleach poured on her clothes and shoes) seems out of character for Owens.

Owens also says that, after Terry took out a restraining order against him, she berated him on the phone, harassed his friends and slandered him on the Internet.

A family violence session is scheduled for Wednesday in Gwinnett County.

Falcons CB Chris Owens is the target of an investigation by Gwinnett County (Ga.) police for allegedly trashing the apartment of his son’s mother, TMZ is reporting.

Owens’ ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 9-month-old son, LaTia Terry, said Owens entered her apartment when she wasn’t there Sunday night and destroyed many of her possessions and poured bleach on her clothes and shoes.

According to the police report, holes had been punched in the walls of the living room, a flat-screen TV had been destroyed, and the baby’s crib had been torn apart.

Terry told police that many of her shoes were worth $1,200 a piece, and she estimated the clothes that were destroyed by bleach to be worth $15,000.

According to the website, Terry has taken out a restraining order on Owens – who was drafted by the Falcons in the third round of the 2009 draft and has combined for three interceptions in his career.
