The judge, Alan L. Page

Is that the former Vikings defensive lineman? (I know he became a judge in Minnesota, and I think he was appointed to some federal position a while back. But I don't know what he's doing now and I didn't see where this took place.)

Different Alan Page. As of yesterday, the former Vikings Alan Page was still an associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court.

But I don't know what he's doing now and I didn't see where this took place.

A quick glance back at the story places the guy, i.e. the victim, in Manhattan, New York Ciy. I don't know about Page.
