MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., March 8 (UPI) -- Arrangements were being made for Georgia authorities to interview Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a sexual assault case, police said.

Milledgeville, Ga., Police Chief Woodrow Blue said Monday his department has been in touch with Roethlisberger's attorney regarding an accusation of sexual assault against the signal-caller.

Blue said Roethlisberger is cooperating but did not divulge any details of the case, saying only it is still in the investigative stage.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent Tom Davis told reporters he anticipates conducting about eight interviews during the next few days.

The alleged incident happened Thursday night at Milledgeville club Capitol City. The female complainant was treated at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville and released, officials said.
