BOSTON -- The woman who made the 911 call that resulted in a Harvard University professor being led from his home in handcuffs said she did not say that she saw two "black" men trying to break into a Cambridge home earlier this month.

NewsCenter 5's Todd Kazakiewich reported that the caller, Lucia Whalen, a 40-year-old white woman, said she never told the 911 dispatcher that the men she saw trying to force open a door were black. Whalen's attorney, Wendy Murphy, told the Boston Herald and Globe that when asked by the dispatcher, Whelan speculated that one of the men was possibly Hispanic.

Murphy said Whalen was aware of recent break-ins in the area.

The 911 tape may be released in the next few days.

On Friday, Sgt. James Crowley received an unexpected phone call from the president.

"You could hear a pin drop. All these guys looking at each other going, 'Is this a hoax?'" said David Dinneen, who runs Tommy Doyle's Bar in Cambridge.

Crowley was at the bar, a favorite among Cambridge police, when President Barack Obama called to clarify his comments about Crowley's arrest of professor Gates. The two spoke for five minutes, and when he hung up, the bar went wild.

"I think it was just a reaction that it was the president of the United States, and just a there was a huge cheer. The roar went up and it was like people were high-fiving," Dinneen said. "Sgt. Crowley was probably the quietest man in the bar at that time. I looked over at his face and I think what I saw was cocktail of emotions."

In was in the bar that Crowley suggested that he, Gates and the president discuss the controversial arrest over a beer.

Gates told Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, "If Sgt. Crowley and the president and I meet, it's clearly not going to be like 'Judge Joe Brown,' OK? You tell your side; you tell your side. We have to agree to disagree. But I would be surprised if somebody didn't say, 'I'm sorry you were arrested.'"

The White House meeting may take place in the next few days.

Crowley reported to work on Monday morning, but did not comment on the ongoing controversy.
