( CNN ) -- Louisiana State Police investigating wiretapping allegations against the New Orleans Saints football team said Monday they found no evidence any state laws were broken . The investigation began in April after ESPN , citing anonymous sources , reported that Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis had a device in his Superdome suite that was wired to allow him to hear members of the opposing coaching staff from 2002 to 2004 . `` This has been an intensive investigation , and after numerous interviews we have determined that there is no evidence that state laws have been violated , '' said State Police Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson . He cautioned that he was not in a position to comment on the status of a federal investigation that is being conducted by the FBI . When the story first broke , Loomis vigorously denied the accusation . `` In my 29 years in the NFL , I have never listened to an opposing team 's communications , '' he said . `` I have never asked for the capability to listen to an opposing team 's communications . I have never inquired as to the possibility of listening in on an opposing team 's communications . And I have never been aware of any capability to listen in on an opposing team 's communications at the Superdome or any NFL stadium . '' The allegation came on the heels of another Saints scandal . In March , the NFL penalized the Saints and members of its coaching staff for the team 's bounty program . The unprecedented punishment was handed down after an investigation found that the team had an active bounty program during the 2009 , 2010 and 2011 seasons . During this time , players were purportedly offered payments if they managed to hurt opposing players and knock them out of a game . New Orleans Saints GM : Never eavesdropped on foes .
He reports that Saints coach Mickey Williams could take on opposing coaches . State police find no evidence to support such a claim . Williams vigorously defended himself against the accusation .
