3. The two sentences don't necessarily have to contradict each other

Consider this sequence of events:

1. The officers involved that night with whatever happened to Mr. Gray say "Mr. Allen told us he thought this."
2. Mr. Allen didn't say that to those officers.
3. When homicide investigators asked him if he'd said those things, Mr. Allen said "No, I didn't say that to the police."

It is entirely possible for the paragraph you stated to be true in it's entirety.
